Description
Some debuggers suspend the execution after an attachment to a running program.
Sometimes this behavior is useful, other times it is more convenient to resume after attach automatically.
Please add the "attach" stop reason to the list of known values in the StoppedEvent.reason.
This will facilitate interaction between editors and debuggers and allow configuring the behavior on the DAP client side.
