[PATCH] Fix alignment of disassemble /r


Hi,

   when disassembling in raw mode (/r) in a variable-length insn
architecture (i.e. x86),
the output can be completely messed since no alignment takes place.

I am aware of the uiout->table stuff, but it seems an overkill since I
should change
the current_uiout when disassembling in this mode (and I didn't find
any actual use of this
machinery at least for x86).
Therefore, I added a hack in the dump_insns when the /r flag is specified.
This clearly isn't the cutiest thing in the world, and I specified a
hardcoded maximum number
of opcode bytes to align (currently 8) though it is easily changeable.

Please let me know if this approach is OK or I should do something
else. Maybe consider whether
current arch is insn-len variable?

If this happens to be OK, please commit it for me since I don't have
write access.

Thanks,

   Daniel.
