Description
It seems vscode automatically continues the running program after attaching gdb to it, unlike in a standalone gdb session running program would be stopped after attached.
Maybe it's already possible to configure in launch.json to NOT continue the program after gdb is attached, in that case can anyone tell me what that configuration is? Otherwise such ability would be nice to have.

Research direction
Start with the launch.json attach configuration and the extension's handling of gdb attachment. Compare the current VS Code behavior with standalone gdb, then define done as a configuration option that leaves the program stopped after attaching; document or test the setting if the existing structure supports it.
