For x86 the current style, a space between every byte, matches the style
used by objdump, which might be the most familiar to users.

I think what we should really be doing is using the bytes_per_chunk
field of the disassemble_info structure in the same way objdump does so
we always group bytes in a similar way, matching the objdump style seems
like a good idea to me unless there's a compelling reason not to.

The aligning of instruction text does seem like a good idea though, and
would match the objdump behaviour.

I see but I disagree with objdump.
I'lll try convincing binutils then :)
