This confuses the IDE with malformed data, as it talks to lldb-vscode using stdin and stdout following the JSON RPC protocol.

This will prove to be resilient to future bugs or features. I made the simplest possible redirection logic I could come up with. It only works for POSIX, and to make it work with Windows should be merely changing pipe and dup2 for the windows equivalents like _pipe and _dup2. Sadly I don't ha...
