VSCode does not surface errors resulting from SetDataBreakpoints requests.

• VSCode Version: 1.38
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04

At the moment, VSCode seems to assume that a successful return from DataBreakpointInfoRequest automatically means that setting a data breakpoint on that variable will succeed. It ignores the verified flag returned in SetDataBreakpointsResponse, nor does it show the attached message.

This is very unfortunate, because in native code, there is a multitude of reasons why data breakpoint creation may fail, and it isn't really possible to predict the outcome in advance.

Would be nice to have some way of surfacing failures in SetDataBreakpoints to the user.

Please try it out with VSCode insiders tomorrow and let us know how it behaves.
Thanks!
