Describe the bug

• A clear and concise description of what the bug.

I have configured VS Code to use the MinGW64 terminal from MSYS2 as my integrated terminal for Go development. This configuration includes setting specific environment variables to ensure that the terminal uses the MinGW64 environment. My settings.json includes the following relevant settings:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "mingw64": {
        "path": "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe",
        "args": ["--login", "-i"],
        "env": {
            "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64",
            "CHERE_INVOKING": "1",
            "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE": "inherit"
        },
        "overrideName": true
    },
        // "mingw64": {
        //     "path": "C:/msys64/msys2_shell.cmd",
        //     "args": [
        //         "-defterm",
        //         "-here",
        //         "-no-start",
        //         "-mingw64"
        //     ]
        // }
},
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "mingw64",

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch Package",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "auto",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
        }
    ]
}

However, when I start a debug session using the integrated terminal, it defaults to the MSYS environment instead of MinGW64. This behavior suggests that the debug session might not be inheriting or respecting the environment variables set for the MinGW64 terminal profile. Specifically, it seems to ignore the "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64" setting, which is crucial for my development environment.

This issue causes significant problems in my build and debug process, as my project requires the MinGW64 environment for proper compilation and execution, especially when dealing with cgo dependencies.

• A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I expect the debug session to start in the MinGW64 environment, inheriting the integrated terminal's configuration, including the environment variables set in settings.json. This should ensure compatibility with my project's build requirements and allow for a seamless debugging experience.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Configure VS Code to use MSYS2's MinGW64 as the integrated terminal.
Set up a Go project that requires MinGW64 (e.g., a project using cgo with MinGW64 dependencies).
Start a debug session in VS Code.
The terminal defaults to MSYS instead of MinGW64.

The extension currently does not use the terminal for debugging.(The debug feature predates the integrated terminal features and options).
Can you copy the env vars to "go.toolsEnvVar" for now?
