Description
PE and ELF files use a lot of RVAs in it. Right now, whenever the user wishes to navigate to it, he needs to add that address to the image base, and then press "G" to call up the "Go To Address" dialog, and then type the address in it. This is quite inconvenient. We should make it easier to do this.
An example of RVAs in exception info:
I propose two ways for it:
- When an address token is double-clicked and a specific key is hold down (e.g., Shift), we treat the address as RVA and automatically add the image base to it before navigating
- Add a checkbox in the "Go To Address" dialog to treat the address as RVA

Review the address-token double-click handling and the Go To Address dialog mentioned in the issue. Choose a consistent RVA navigation path, then verify that an RVA resolves relative to the image base when invoked from the relevant UI.
