The idea behind the address-expression is that it handles all the common expressions that produce addresses.  It handles actual valid expressions that return a scalar, and it handles useful cases that the various source languages don't support.  At present, the fallback handles:

<symbol_name>{+-}<offset>

which isn't valid C but is very handy.

This patch adds handling of:

$<reg_name>

and

$<reg_name>{+-}<offset>

That's kind of pointless in C because the C expression parser handles that expression already.  But some languages don't have a straightforward way to represent register values like this (swift) so having this fallback is quite a quality of life improvement.

I added a test which tests that I didn't mess up either of these fallbacks, though it doesn't test the actually handling of registers that I added, since the expression parser for C succeeds in that case and returns before this code gets run.

I will add a test on the swift fork for that checks that this works the same way for a swift frame after this check.
