I think the ask here, and what I would like, would be for _stop_ in the debugger to be configurable so that we could send SIGTERM instead of what it does now which is SIGKILL.

Other plugins do this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-node-debug2/issues/101

I would also like to be able to change the stop debugging signal. I have a Raspberry Pi application that allocates some resources using https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio and needs to release them when it stops. As things are currently, it leaks those resources every time I run a new debug session, and eventually I have to reboot. If I could get a SIGTERM when stopping debugging, that would fix the problem.
