Debuginfo tests are highly sensitive to debugger versions and thus very fragile #133111

Open

Description

@jieyouxu

AFAIK debugger visualization output usually don't guarantee output format stability, which as a corollary of #126092, this means that our debuginfo test suite is extremely fragile and prone to breakage from debugger version updates in CI.

    E.g. #133107 which we had to close the tree because github CI updated the Windows SDK version which transitively updated the cdb version.
