Describe the bug

I can't see hex values for pointer variables while debugging.
I found this from 2018 microsoft/vscode-go#1989 (closed as fixed)
I also see this (still open) issue #112 about the pointer values but they are displayed.
I even used the same test code, no pointer values displayed for me:

[polinasok]

Thank you for filing this issue. I was just revisiting #112 a couple of days ago. The pointer display has evolved greatly since it was filed. Some things got better, but the pointer address went missing. Please see this detailed update and do comment on what the most ideal UI would be for adding the missing address. Thank you.

@polinasok since this is assigned, I'll move it into the next release milestone. LMK if this should go into On Deck instead.
