Add a subcommand for printing test data. It can be used to generate
special test cases and feed them into the sort subcommand or sort(1) for
performance measurements. It may also be useful to illustrate the
effect of distributions, modes and their parameters.
It generates n integers with the specified distribution and its
distribution-specific parameter m. E.g. m is the maximum value for
the plateau distribution and the length and height of individual teeth
of the sawtooth distribution.
The generated values are printed as zero-padded eight-digit hexadecimal
numbers to make sure alphabetic and numeric order are the same.
