With the wider display format, it can become hard to identify how many
bytes into the line you are looking at.

The patch adds new flags to hex_dump_to_buffer() and print_hex_dump() to
print vertical lines to separate every N groups of bytes.

eg.
buf:00000000: 454d414e 43415053|4e495f45 00584544  NAMESPAC|E_INDEX.
buf:00000010: 00000000 00000002|00000000 00000000  ........|........

These aren't really bits as only one value should be set
as 8 overrides 4 and 4 overrides 2.

I would also expect this to be a value of 2 in your above
example, rather than 8.  It's described as groups not bytes.

The example is showing a what would normally be a space ' '
separator as a vertical bar '|' every 2nd grouping.

This should be the other way around, as we should be emitting alternate
seperators based on the smallest grouping (2 implies 4 and 8, and 4
implies 8). I'll fix the logic.

I can't come up with a better way to represent these without making the
API more complex, if you have a suggestion, I'm happy to hear it.

The above example shows a group size of 4 bytes, and
HEXDUMP_2_GRP_LINES set, with 2 groups being 8 bytes.

I'll make that clearer in the commit message.
