Description
The Debug Console tends to be pretty spammy. I'd like to be able to see my program output separately, as I normally would when running without the debugger. Ideally, it would simply be duplicated to either the the Integrated Terminal (allowing for stdin) or Output window.
Note the IGIESW, IGIWHW, and thread exit messages below being run together with my program output. I don't necessarily want to flat out disable these debugger messages though, as they're still important, I just want stdout/stderr separated from the debugger stuff.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by examining how the VS Code C/C++ extension routes program stdout/stderr and debugger messages between the Debug Console, Integrated Terminal, and Output window; done means offering the requested destination choice while preserving debugger messages and stdin support where applicable.
