feature request: add address display in vscode VARIABLES / WATCH in DEBUG panel

[iamzhout]

To view the address of variable is quite useful feature, which is also viable in delve debug console,
is it possible to add variable address in vscode DEBUG panel also?

• vscode DEBUG panel
  there is no address display for variables

• dlv debug console
  as in below example, we can see f.ptr address as 0x91c701

(dlv) locals
f.cap = 13482945
f.len = 9553888
f.ptr = (*uint8)(0x91c701)

@iamzhout Thanks for reporting and apologies for the delay in response.

Can you elaborate on the scenario where having the address of the variable is useful?

@jhendrixMSFT, @vladbarosan Thoughts?

@quoctruong , @iantalarico and @pongad Any thoughts on this?

One case that comes to mind is when you have two objects that have a *thing and then you realize through debugging that they're both sharing the same instance which was perhaps unexpected.
