[Debuginfo] improve enum value formatting in LLDB for better readability > TL;DR: When debugging with CodeLLDB, I noticed enum values were often hard to read because LLDB lists every possible variant, resulting in a verbose and cluttered view, even though only one variant is actually valid. Interestingly, raw enum types display nicely. After some investigation, I found that `&enum` values get classified as `Other`, so it falls back to `DefaultSyntheticProvider`, which causes this verbose output. ## What does this PR do? This PR contains 2 commits: 1. change the enum value formatting from showing 2 separate fields (`value` for attached data and `$discr$` for the discriminator) to a concise `<readable variant name>: <attached data>` format 2. dereference pointer types in `classify_rust_type` so that it can return more accurate type for reference type ## Self-test proof Before: <img width="1706" height="799" alt="before" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b66c7e22-990a-4da5-9036-34e3f9f62367" /> After: <img width="1541" height="678" alt="after" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/36db32e2-f822-4883-8f17-cb8067e509f6" /> |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
