PR 2012 - mdump/wdump shell cmds handle length arg incorrectly; add ldump cmd
* libmisc/shell/main_mdump.c: Reworked to fix bugs in handling of the length argument and to provide an "ldump" command. This file now also supports the "wdump" command. In addition, an RTEMS API function called rtems_mdump() is provided to allow easy dumping from application code. * libmisc/shell/main_mwdump.c: Obsolete file. * libmisc/Makefile.am: Removed main_mwdump.c * libmisc/shell/shellconfig.h: Added "ldump" command. * shell/memory.t: Added documentation for the "ldump" command Signed-off-by: Ric Claus <claus@SLAC.Stanford.edu>
