Platform IDE and UI

• Enhanced debugging efficiency by at least 20%. It applies to the entire debug session initialization pipeline and was measured from the moment Debug is pressed until the main() is reached.

• Live view mechanism was introduced in Memory Spaces and Global Variables views when target is running in non-stop mode. Users can observe real-time changes to memory addresses and variables, improving visibility into the runtime behavior. A configurable refresh rate allows tunning the update frequency based on performance needs.
