Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
The cppdbg debugger adapter throws "Unable to find child property."
Refer: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/273721

Steps to reproduce:

1. in vscode, open a c++ project
2. set a breakpoint and start debugging to hit that
3. hide the 'Variables' window
4. reload the vscode
5. start debugging again, add an variable in watch, right on the watched item.
   the context menu doesn't show up due to the dataBreakpointInfo() call into cppdbg debugger adapter throws "Unable to find child property.

Beginne damit, die Sequenz bei ausgeblendetem Variables-Fenster zu reproduzieren; untersuche dann die dataBreakpointInfo-Anfrage und den zugehörigen evaluate-Aufruf im cppdbg-Debugger-Adapter. Verwende das bereitgestellte GDB/MI-Protokoll, um den leeren Ausdruck und die Suche nach untergeordneten Eigenschaften nachzuverfolgen. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn dataBreakpointInfo den Fehler nicht mehr erzeugt und das Kontextmenü des überwachten Elements angezeigt wird.
