Support data type display with a key press so that users can toggle the
output dynamically on TUI. Also display "[Type]" in the title line if
it's enabled.

Testing here I see:
0.81 │ mov 0x9c(%r8),%r11d # data-type: struct cfs_rq +0x9c
If I ask for source code by pressing 's':
│ delta += sa->period_contrib; ▒
0.97 │ mov 0x9c(%r8),%r11d # data-type: struct cfs_rq +0x9c
So it is the 'period_contrib' field of 'struct cfs_rq', humm, not:
root@number:~# pahole -E --hex cfs_rq | grep 0x9c -B 10 -A10
struct sched_entity * next; /* 0x60 0x8 */
/* XXX 24 bytes hole, try to pack */

/* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
struct {
root@number:~#
So it is in a subtype and probably this is an improvement to be made,
right?

It seems %r8 contains a pointer to cfs_rq and there's a variable for sa
(sched_avg) but it actually uses the same register as it's embeded. I
think DWARF has correct location expression to find the containing data
type and the output looks ok. In general, I'd prefer seeing outer types.
