seperate length and format for print command

[Dylan-Brotherston]

currently, the interactive print accepts these options as print_type:

"byte" | "half" | "word" | "xbyte" | "xhalf" | "xword" | "hex" | "char" | "string" | "b" | "h" | "w" | "xb" | "xh" | "xw" | "x" | "c" | "s"

This has a few limitations. b is used for byte so can't be used for binary, there is no octal, hex is only lowercase.

I think separating out the base or format and the length to print would allow more control.

length:

b | byte
h | half
w | word

format

b  | non-padded binary
0b | padded binary
o  | non-padded octal
0o | padded octal
x  | non-padded hex
0x | padded hex
X  | non-padded capital hex
0X | padded capital hex
c  | char
s  | string
#N | non-padded base N (2-36)

Eg:

[mipsy] print $t0 half x
0xf22
[mipsy] print $t0 half 0X
0x0F22

the print command is a bit of a pig... still trying to think about what's most ergonomic. this seems a bit unergonomic having to type print $t0 word x just to print $t0 in hex... and print $t0 x doesn't seem like a great option given that print _ b is ambiguous, where b is either byte or non-padded binary

my instinct is to borrow gdb's syntax and use print(/{format})? {item}( {length})? where the default format is decimal and the default length is word, which seems to match with the current defaults.

This allows for all four of the following: print $t0 print/x $t0 print $t0 byte or print $t0 b print/x $t0 byte
