Support representation change of debug variables, e.g. base 16 instead of base 10 #215

I am currently debugging memory and its data from a RISC-V processor via cocotb, but all values are displayed with base 10. This even happens if it's raw data. This it how it looks: grafik

But I want to see those values in hexadecimal. In that example, it should show the values 0x160 and 0x180. My proposed fix would be to add the possibility to change the representation via the drop down menu:

grafik

Where I can change the representation of the given value.

Changed the title to be more general. I miss the view of variables in hexadecimal, but it would also be good, to change values to other bases, or to even classify them as array / string. Other IDE's like those from JetBrains or VS Community or Eclipse support this also.
