Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think it would be better visual if during debug/emulation Cutter will show value of vars/args/regs/mems in popup window when mouse over like this:

1

And the same for decompilation listing.

Describe the solution you'd like

These values could be got from afvd command.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Investigate how Cutter currently displays variable values during debugging. The afvd command in rizin outputs variable/argument values. Look at existing tooltip implementations in the disassembly or decompiler views, e.g., in Cutter's Decompiler class or DebugDialog. Implement a popup that queries afvd and shows the values on hover over variable names. Consider performance impact and thread safety.
