Description

Hash tables should be type annotated because they can hold arbitrary data.

E.g.

HtUP *something;
// Should require to have a type description of the data
HtUP /*<RzGraphNode>*/ *something;

Same for HtPP but also for the keys.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing hash table type definitions (HtUP, HtPP) in the rizin codebase and the rz bindgen tool's handling of type annotations. Determine how to implement type annotations for these hash tables.
