Description

cl.exe for example supports these as a checksum algorithm: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/compiler-options-listed-alphabetically?view=msvc-170, so it would be useful to have these defined in protocol so that these checksums can be easily reported across DAP.

Research direction

Start by locating the ChecksumAlgorithm definition in the debug adapter protocol and review how existing checksum values are declared and documented. Add SHA384 and SHA512 alongside the current algorithms, then verify that the protocol can report both values consistently across DAP.
