[Docs] Debugging OpenVINO C++ and Python bindings using VS Code

N/A – new documentation page

Description

Context

Many developers find it difficult to debug OpenVINO’s internal C++ code and Python bindings (pybind11) due to the lack of a clear step-by-step workflow for setting up a debugging environment. A focused guide is needed to show how to configure VS Code for debugging and how to reproduce issues across Python, C++, and Python-to-C++ execution paths.

What needs to be done

Prepare a concise documentation page that:

1. Explains how to build OpenVINO in Debug mode and set it up for use with VS Code on Linux.
2. Shows how to use VS Code to debug OpenVINO C++, Python, and Python-to-C++ execution flows.
