Debugging: allow different data type visualization on Variables and Watch tabs

[dsanz006]

I am debugging a C program where I am treating some variables bit-wise. In this case, it would be extremely useful for me to be able to watch my variables in hexadecimal or binary format when I am debugging, in the Variables and Watch tabs. I can currently only see my variables as integers.

The feature I am requesting is common to any C/C++ debugging tool or IDE, so I think VS Code should have it as well. Not having it is a strong limitation for people developing embedded or low-level applications.
