additionalSOLibSearchPath does not work for remote debugging

Bug type: Debugger

Description additionalSOLibSearchPath is not respected in debuging session using remote debugger from windows to linux using ssh.

According to maintainer in vscode-remote-release the issue is in debugger, not in the remote extension, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/5748

Work around is to use "environment": [{ "name": "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "value": "/path_to_libImportantLib/" },

To Reproduce

Compile an executable (exe_to_debug) on remote linux which depends on dynamic libraries in some path, eg /path_to_libImportantLib/ where libraries are found eg. libImportantLib.so
Debug executable on remote linux with dynamic libraries but without setting additionalSOLibSearchPath --> gdb fails as expected, output in gdb terminal exe_to_debug: error while loading shared libraries: libImportantLib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
In Launch.json set "additionalSOLibSearchPath": "/path_to_libImportantLib/" Expected: Successful debugging Current Result: Same error as (2) `exe_to_debug: error while loading shared libraries: libImportantLib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Workaround: Debugging works if I add following to Launch.json:

  "environment": [
    {
      "name": "LD_LIBRARY_PATH",
      "value": "/path_to_libImportantLib/"
    },
