RFR: 8314020: Print instruction blocks in byte units

[Aleksey Shipilev]

When following up on JVM crashes in the field, we frequently want to disassemble the "Instructions:" block in hs_err. Unfortunately, some architectures print out the instructions in N-byte chunks, which is affected by platform endianness. The simple scripts would then fail to parse the instruction stream, because they have no assumptions about the endianness, and would require additional re-assembling (pun intended).

See more details in the bug.

I understand it is natural to print the full instructions on architectures with fixed-size instructions like AArch64, RISC-V, PPC, ARM. But I'd argue we should simplify the mechanical parsing of those instruction dumps. What do you think, @theRealAph, @RealFYang, @TheRealMDoerr, @tstuefe?

After this fix, the following scripts work well with `Instruction:` block from artificial AArch64 crash:
