This patch updates the documentation to reflect the addition of the new
zhexadecimal format option for -var-set-format and also adds a NEWS entry
for the change.

OK, but should we perhaps explain what zhexadecimal means?  I didn't
know about it until I read this patch.

I'm not too sure where that explanation should go. The other formats are self-explanatory. What about 'zero-padded-hexadecimal'? Too long?

The 'z' is an attempt to map back to the CLI format specifier /z when using the print and x commands. Though that requires some GDB-fu to get the first time.
