Different issues when using MinGW and Cygwin GCC Toolchains #455

Description

First of all this a great extension and it works perfectly fine in my linux environment.

Unfortunately for work i still have to use Microsuck OS so i am forced to use either Cygwin
or MinGW to compile our google test suite.

I have different issues with both of those toolchains and this testadapter and maybe there is some configuration to work around those issues?

1. Cygwin

Debugging and running tests from test explorer works but not from the source code, also it is not possible to jump to the source code by double clicking on the test in the test explorer.
I think the cause of those issues is that cygwin uses a /cygrive/c path to mount the C:/ folder and testmate can't parse those virtual
cygwin paths.
Maybe there is a configuration to work around those virtual paths?

2. Mingw

Jumping to test source code from test explorer works because unlike cygdrive mingw translates C:/ to /c which powershell can find by itself.
"Run Tests" works from the green button in the source code and from the test explorer.
But debugging doesn't work neither from the test explorer nor from the green buttons in the source.
I dont know what the debug issue with MinGW might be since i did install gdb and it is available as first find in environment path variable.
