Description
- Add some attach configurations to launch.json.
- Use the Debug or Configure Active options (top right of a file).
Bug: The dropdown shows duplicates (2 for Configure and 4 for Debug), which seems buggy and confusing. I'm not sure what the difference is between the duplicate options.
I hit this while investigating https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/pull/13569 , but it was a pre-existing issue.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by adding attach configurations to launch.json, then use the Debug or Configure Active options at the top right of a file. Trace how these configurations populate each dropdown and identify why entries are duplicated. Done means each configuration appears once in the relevant dropdown, with the existing attach options still available.
