vds_create_hint

summary: provide custom decompiler hints

description:

Handle ida_hexrays.hxe_create_hint notification using hooks, to return our own.

If the object under the cursor is:

• a function call, prefix the original decompiler hint with `==> `

• a local variable declaration, replace the hint with our own in the form of !{varname} (where {varname} is replaced with the variable name)

• an if statement, replace the hint with our own, saying “condition”
