[PATCH] [1/2] Add new 'z' format for print command


The MI code for displaying registers currently supports
a special case 'r' format that displays the register in
'raw' form, this is hexadecimal, zero padded to the size
of the register.

Having this as a special case in the MI code causes problems
with optimized out registers, which I tried addressing in a
patch here:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00193.html

Pedro pointed out that I could do better, so, this patch
introduces a new 'z' format within the core value printing
code that displays scalars using zero padded hexadecimal.
I've mentioned this in the docs and added a test for the
new format.

In patch [2/2] I'll change the MI code to make use of this
new 'z' formatter.

OK to apply?

Thanks,
Andrew
