Description
When DevTools is used for a C/C++ tool ("cpp-devtools.enableCppCodeEditingTools": true), and then the C/C++ extension is updated and Restart Extensions is used, then the DevTools tools stop working until a Reload Window happens.

Research direction
Review the linked pull request #14382 in the vscode-cpptools repository first, then reproduce the reported sequence with cpp-devtools.enableCppCodeEditingTools enabled: update the C/C++ extension and use Restart Extensions. Done means the DevTools tools still work afterward without requiring Reload Window.
