Description
Feature Request
From https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1410, I gathered that data breakpoint support currently works for GDB, but not LLDB or MI. It would be great to support hardware/data breakpoints with LLDB/MI as well.

Research direction
Start by reading the related vscode-cpptools issue 1410 and comparing the existing GDB data-breakpoint behavior with LLDB and MIEngine support. Done means hardware/data breakpoints work through both LLDB and MI, with behavior matching the current GDB support.
