Binary memory and file dumpers in base 2 through 16 formats

Functions:

function baseddump

5 methods.

function baseddump(io::IO, data::Vector{UInt8}, base = 16; offset = 0, len = -1)

function baseddump(io::IO, data::AbstractArray, base = 16; offset = 0, len = -1)

function baseddump(data, base = 16; offset = 0, len = -1)

Print (to stdout, or if specified io) a dump of `data` as bytes. The portion
dumped defaults to all of data, or else, if specified, from `offset` to `len`.
The `base` used to print the data is between 16 (default) and 2 (binary).
The data is formatted similar to the formatting of the unix utilities `hexdump` or
`xxd` for bases 16 and 2, and the decimal format for `base` 10 is similar to unix
`hexdump` but with decimal format, and similarly for base 8 and octal format.
Any base between 2 and 16 is supported, but there are shorter function names 
for base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 10 (decimal), and for the default base 16
(hexadecimal).

function baseddump(to::IO, from::IO, base = 16; offset = 0, len = -1)

function baseddump(to::IO, filename::AbstractString, base = 16; offset = 0, len = -1)

Print (to stdout, or if specified to the IO `to`) a dump of the stream `from` or file
`filename` as bytes. The portion dumped defaults to all of the data until eof(), 
or else, if specified, from `offset` to `len`.

Note that these functions have shorter versions:

hexdump which defaults to base 16,

xxd which defaults to base 2,

octdump which defaults to base 8, and

decdump which defaults to base 10.

Examples:

hexdump("test.so") will dump the contents of file "test.so" as a hex display to stdout.

xxd(stderr, s, offset = 16, length = 1008) will dump the bytes in s[16:16+1008-1], where s 
is a vector of bytes, to stderr in a binary format.

textdump(io::IO, txt::AbstractString, base::Integer; off = 0, len = -1)

Dump (with `baseddump`) the string `txt`. Julia strings will be interpreted
as utf-8 text, with mulitbyte chars displayed in little endian order.

textdump(txt, base; offset = 0, len = -1)

This method is the same as the previous method of that name, but dumps only to stdout.
