Description
Brief Issue Summary
Currently the CMake Debugger only seems to show variables and not properties associated with the current directory or global scope:
Note: using cmake-tools build from #3277 to attach to an external cmake debugging session.
(Could also be a CMake issue not passing the required info via DAP? But the CMake issues about the debugger seems to indicate that this is implemented?)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the cmake-tools build from #3277 while attaching to an external CMake debugging session. Compare the variables shown by the CMake Debugger with the missing current-directory and global properties, and check whether the DAP session provides that information. Done means both property scopes are displayed alongside variables.
