print_buffer: optimize & shrink

Applying a little creative format string allows us to shrink the initial
data read & display loop by only calling printf once. Re-using the local
data buffer to generate the string we want to display then allows us to
output everything with just one printf call instead of multiple calls to
the putc function.

The local stack buffer needs increasing by 1 byte, but the resulting code
shrink and speed up is worth it I think.

Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".

This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
/* ====> */ while (*++*argv) {
switch (**argv) {
case 'd':
debug++;
break;
...
default:
usage ();
}
}
}
...
}

The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
error: increment of read-only location '*argv'

N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:

while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') {
char *arg = *argv;
while (*++arg) {
switch (*arg) {

Avoid use of divides in print_size

Modification of print_size to avoid use of divides and especially
long long divides. Keep the binary scale factor in terms of bit
shifts instead. This should be faster, since the previous code
gave the compiler no clues that the divides where always powers
of two, preventing optimisation.

fix print_size printing fractional gigabyte numbers on 32-bit platforms

In print_size(), the math that calculates the fractional remainder of a number
used the same integer size as a physical address. However, the "10 *" factor
of the algorithm means that a large number (e.g. 1.5GB) can overflow the
integer if we're running on a 32-bit system. Therefore, we need to
disassociate this function from the size of a physical address.
