In C, an anonymous struct can be named using a typedef. Prior to this commit, dwarf2json ignores typedefs and generates unnamed user_types for anonymous structs. This makes it difficult to refer to those types. This commit uses a typedef's name to refer to a user_type when dwarf2json encounters an anonymous struct instead of using a generated name.

@mkonshie this works for me. Tested using Fedora Core 38 with kernel 6.3.12 as it was reported in volatilityfoundation/volatility3#985 .. thanks |

Resolves volatilityfoundation/volatility3#985
Prior to this commit, dwarf2json ignores typedefs and generates
unnamed user_types for anonymous structs. This makes it difficult
to refer to those types.
This PR uses a typedef's name to refer to a user_type when
dwarf2json encounters an anonymous struct instead of using a generated
name.
