Add support for expanding Pointer slices in debugger

[ishankhare07]

What did you do? (required: The issue will be closed when not provided)

I tried using :GoDebugStart for the following program and the breakpoints at line 14 and 19

    1 package main
    2
    3 import "fmt"
    4
    5 type Complex struct {
    6     Value *int
    7 }
    8
    9 func PointyInt(a int) *int {
   10     return &a
   11 }
   12
   13 func main() {
   14     a := []*Complex{
   15         {
   16             Value: PointyInt(1),
   17         },
   18     }
   19
   20     b := []int{1, 2, 3, 4}
 * 21     fmt.Println("vim-go", a, b)
   22 }

On stepping through the debugger I expect to see the a variable in the Local Variables section:

a: []*main.Complex[824633868568]
b: []int[4]

Up to this point this is the expected outcome, however if I try to expand the a Slice above using the <CR> binding, it doesn't work, while is works perfectly for b.

# Local Variables
a: []*main.Complex[1]
b: []int[4]
 b[0]: int(1)
 b[1]: int(2)
 b[2]: int(3)
 b[3]: int(4)

What did you expect to happen?

I expect even the pointer slices to be expanded in the local variables section

What happened instead?

Cannot expand the variable which is a slice of pointers
