Can you rephrase this to be easier to understand for users not familiar with LLDB's plugin model and include the env variable?

I haven't come up with a good note. What about:

- For local debugging on Windows, LLDB now spawns `lldb-server.exe` which will run the debuggee as opposed to running it "in-process". You can disable this by setting the environment variable `LLDB_USE_LLDB_SERVER=0`.
