[PATCH] memory_display: add padding to simplify counting

[Roland Hieber <r.hieber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trying to count single bytes (e.g. when adding an offset) in 'word' or
'byte' output mode is not easy in the current formatting, and (at least
for me) has a high chance of miscounting or losing track of groups:

    barebox@boardname:/ md -b 0x149983f0+32
    149983f0: 18 00 00 00 00 00 0d 86 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00    ................
    14998400: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00    ................

    barebox@boardname:/ md -w 0x149983f0+32
    149983f0: 0018 0000 0000 860d 0000 0000 0000 0000            ................
    14998400: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000            ................

With an additional space after 8 bytes, counting becomes easier:

    barebox@boardname:/ md -b 0x149983f0+32
    149983f0: 18 00 00 00 00 00 0d 86  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................
    14998400: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ................

    barebox@boardname:/ md -w 0x149983f0+32
    149983f0: 0018 0000 0000 860d  0000 0000 0000 0000           ................
    14998400: 0000 0000 0000 0000  0000 0000 0000 0000           ................

The 'quad' and 'long' output modes stay the same and are already much
more easier to count because they build bigger and therefore less groups
of bytes per line.
