LOG: [lldb] Honor the process plugin name in the attach/launch info (#175195)

When connected to a GDB remote platform, we always use "gdb-remote" as
the process plugin when attaching. This means that the `--plugin`
argument to `process attach` is effectively ignored. This patch makes it
so that "gdb-remote" remains the default, while still honoring the
process plugin name specified in the attach info. The same thing applies
to launching a process.
