[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.
