[lldb] Ignore type sugar in TypeSystemClang::GetPointerType
Summary: Currently having a typedef for ObjC types is breaking member access in LLDB: ``` typedef NSString Str; NSString *s; s.length; // OK Str *s; s.length; // Causes: member reference base type 'Str *' (aka 'NSString *') is not a structure or union ``` This works for NSString as there the type building from `NSString` -> `NSString *` will correctly build a ObjCObjectPointerType (which is necessary to make member access with a dot possible), but for the typedef the `Str` -> `Str *` conversion will produce an incorrect PointerType. The reason for this is that our check in TypeSystemClang::GetPointerType is not desugaring the base type, which causes that `Str` is not recognised as a type to a `ObjCInterface` as the check only sees the typedef sugar that was put around it. This causes that we fall back to constructing a PointerType instead which does not allow member access with the dot operator. This patch just changes the check to look at the desugared type instead.
