Debug's `dump` should support more data types
Currently, debug's dump() supports String, Int, and Bool. It doesn't support dumping Address, Cell, Slice etc.
To enhance developer experience it makes sense for dump to support all native data types.
Address is supported since PR #175, will be released in v1.3.0

Which makes all native data types supported in dump() function. Soon-to-be documented
I think we can implement formatted recursive dumping for cells and slices, the same way as csr. from Fift works.

While trying to implement this feature, I've came to a problem: STRDUMP doesn't allow printing of a string longer than 127 symbols because it only takes data from the current slice which is limited by 1023 bits.
So the implementation will break if cells have more than 508 bits (even less with the indentation).
So I think there's no good way to implement beautiful Cell and Slice dumping at the moment. However, if something like DUMPSLICE is ever introduced in TVM we'll add it to Tact's dump function.
Let's keep this as a reminder
