JDK-8247514 - Improve clhsdb 'findpc' ability to determine what an address points to by improving PointerFinder and PointerLocation classes
Description
"whatis" is the same as "findpc", but also calls LoadObject.lookup() on the address and will also try to determine the C++ Type of the address. However, with the proposed improvements to PointerFinder in JDK-8247514, findpc will also include support for this (plus other types of address lookups), so these two commands will do the same thing. I do still plan on adding "whatis" since some people might still rely on it from when it worked in JDK 8, and may not know that findpc will do the same.
