C++ launch json documentation wrong (outdated)

[corneliusroemer]

I noticed that the C++ Launch JSON documentation is outdated/incorrect.

For example, it suggests setting externalConsole but VS Code says that key doesn't exist: "Property externalConsole is not allowed."

I found some issues related to this, suggesting the docs are no longer up to date:

• https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/6805
• https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/6939
• https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/issues/5518
• https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/pull/6794

I started looking into this because of a StackOverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79626471/c-debugger-terminates-instead-of-waiting-for-input-in-vscode-on-mac
