Description

We should make navigating through thunks easier.

Once https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/173 is complete this will be even more important.

The functionality should automatically traverse simple trampolines and across library boundaries to go to the actual function in question. The prior single-navigation mode should also still be possible, but probably behind a modifier like shift-click.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #173 and the existing navigation behavior in Binary Ninja, since no files or tests are named here. The work is done when navigation automatically follows simple trampolines and library boundaries, while the previous single-navigation behavior remains available through a modifier such as shift-click.
