[PATCH v5 1/3] disass: Add /x modifier to print offsets in hex

From: Fam Zheng <famzheng@amazon.com>

Backtrace messages printed by Linux kernel and Xen have hex offsets,
e.g.:

(XEN) Xen call trace:
(XEN)    [<ffff82d0402eefbb>] R guest_walk_tables_2_levels+0x189/0x66d
(XEN)    [<ffff82d0402edbbd>] F hap_p2m_ga_to_gfn_2_levels+0x112/0x25b
(XEN)    [<ffff82d0402edd22>] F hap_gva_to_gfn_2_levels+0x1c/0x1e
(XEN)    [<ffff82d0402f832e>] F paging_gva_to_gfn+0x14a/0x167

Having this modifier saves converting between hex values from the
backtrace log and offsets in gdb disass output.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2020-09-25  Fam Zheng  <famzheng@amazon.com>

	* NEWS: Mention the /x modifier of disass.
	* cli/cli-cmds.c (disassemble_current_function): Add usage text
	for /x modifier.
	(disassemble_command): Parse /x modifier for disass.
	* disasm.c (gdb_pretty_print_disassembler::pretty_print_insn):
	Handle /x modifier.
	* disasm.h (enum gdb_disassembly_flag): Add a new flag for /x
	modifier.
	* record.c (get_insn_history_modifiers): Parse /x modifier.
