Michael Weghorn f4dc3fd5c5 Debugger: Prepend '*'s for autodereferenced pointers ...

If automatic dereferencing of pointers is enabled, the
"Value" and "Type" columns for pointers hold the values for
the dereferenced pointers.

In order to have a consistent behavior for the "Name" column
as well, prepend '*'s to indicate that the variable/expression
has actually been dereferenced.
Add parantheses around the original expression if it doesn't
match a simple regex for variable names, to avoid that the
leading '*' changes the meaning of the expression
(so e.g. a dereferenced 'somepointer + 1' is displayed
as  '*(somepointer + 1)' rather than '*somepointer + 1').

This introduces a new 'autoderefcount' field to propagate the
information how many levels of dereferencing have taken
place from the Python to the C++ side, which is then
used to add the leading '*'s for the display name.
