Description

### Request Overview

Currently, llvm has removed support for lldb-mi. When calling lldb for debugging with cmake tool, errors may occur, which is very inconvenient. Supporting lldb-dap to obtain advanced debugging functions and improve the plugin user experience is an urgent feature needed in the future.
