Swift uses specific branches of the name `stable/*` for its fork of `llvm-project`. At the moment, the Swift `main` branch builds use `stable/20240723` which has very few of the recent changes to `llvm/llvm-project` in it (and anything new needs to be cherry-picked in). Additionally, release builds of Swift are locked to a `swift/release/*` branch. Currently, Swift 6.1 is locked except for major bug fixes and uses the `swift/release/6.1` branch for builds.

That being said, I still agree that adding the process picking functionality to `lldb-dap` makes the most sense in the long run. Especially for cases where remote debugging is being used. I'm going to add the NodeJS process picker to the Swift extension in order to support attach requests in Swift 6.0, but will work on updating this PR with the `lldb-dap` platform process list approach afterwards.

Once this gets into Swift's `lldb-dap` then that extension can use the process picker from this PR. I think that's a happy medium in the meantime.
