perf dwarf-aux: Better variable collection for insn tracking

Utilizes the previous is_breg_access_indirect function to determine if
the register + offset stores the variable itself or the struct it points
to, save the information in die_var_type.is_reg_var_addr.

Since we are storing the real types in the stack state, we need to do a
type dereference when is_reg_var_addr is set to false for stack/frame
registers.

For other gp registers, skip the variable when the register is a pointer
to the type. If we want to accept these variables, we might also utilize
is_reg_var_addr in a different way, we need to mark that register as a
pointer to the type.
