[patch] Print register names also for DWARF loc/expr

Hi,

currently this DWARF (~ELF) output is perfectly readable:
	Contents of the .eh_frame section:
	  DW_CFA_offset: r3 (rbx) at cfa-40
	  DW_CFA_offset: r6 (rbp) at cfa-32

But this variant of output has still difficult to parse numbers->registers:
Contents of the .debug_loc section:
    Offset   Begin    End      Expression
    000002d4 00000000004015d5 00000000004015d9 (DW_OP_breg0: 0; DW_OP_lit3; DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_breg3: 0; DW_OP_plus; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 8)
    000002d4 00000000004015d9 0000000000401622 (DW_OP_reg6)
    000002d4 <End of list>
    <fc1>   DW_AT_location    : 1 byte block: 55        (DW_OP_reg5)

Provided patch will print instead:
    Offset   Begin    End      Expression
    000002d4 00000000004015d5 00000000004015d9 (DW_OP_breg0: (rax) 0; DW_OP_lit3; DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_breg3: (rbx) 0; DW_OP_plus; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 8)
    000002d4 00000000004015d9 0000000000401622 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp))
    000002d4 <End of list>
    <fc1>   DW_AT_location    : 1 byte block: 55        (DW_OP_reg5 (rdi))

I really do not mind about the specific syntax but I miss the register names.
