LOG: [lldb-vscode] Use auto summaries whenever variables don't have a summary (#66551)

Auto summaries were only being used when non-pointer/reference variables
didn't have values nor summaries. Greg pointed out that it should be
better to simply use auto summaries when the variable doesn't have a
summary of its own, regardless of other conditions.

This led to code simplification and correct visualization of auto
summaries for pointer/reference types, as seen in this screenshot.
