Support showing formatted byte code mnemonics instead of reconstructed Java source #5

Properly formatted byte code is invaluable when addressing non trivial issues and when dealing with generated classes. It will be nice to have a toggle for this (Netbeans has one).

I'm not likely to implement this. There aren't many places in vscode where you can put your own UI except for the status bar, and I personally hate extensions that put UI there. In addition, the JDT Language Server project doesn't have a method for specifying a particular disassembler/decompiler on a per-file basis, so I'm not even sure how I'd go about trying.

What about allowing it as a global backend option (slightly annoying, but still quite usable)? Procyon has an option for this, and good old javap is also decent (especially if the output can be slightly hyper-linked to allow "go to source" to work for class references).
