Author: William Junda Huang (huangjd)

<summary>Changes</summary>
Such expression does not correspond to a variable in the source code thus does not have a debug location. When the user collects perf data on the program, if the intermediate memory load instruction is sampled, it could not be attributed to any variable/class member, which causes the sampling results to be under-counted.
This patch adds an option `-fdebug_info_for_pointer_type` to generate a psuedo variable and its debug info for intermediate expression with pointer dereferencing, so that perf data collected on the instruction of that expression can be attributed to the correct class member.
This is a prototype so comments are needed.
