Improved DWARF view

The DWARF view has been extended to also show:

  • information about function-local variables and the scopes they reside in
  • information about structure and class types that contain static member variables
  • union/struct/class inheritance

Additionally, it is now possible to directly jump to the DWARF view from places such as messages or interactive value analysis results by using the con­text menu.
