16 byte/128 bit varnodes in decompilation

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to type 128 varnodes as some kind of int128 - I haven’t been able to work out if it is possible.

I’d like to make decompilations of instructions that work on 128 bit registers look sane 😃

The internal decompiler implementation uses a 64-bit primitive to retain all varnode offsets, including constants which are also represented by a varnode in the “const” space. At the time of the design larger primitive values may not have been standardized/available across C compilers and Java is limited to a 64-bit primitive.
