possible patch

Provide a way to figure out how to print 64-bit values in 64-bit winedbg with
the x command. Maybe by pointing to the man page from the help command and
adding the 'a' format there.

--- Comment #1 from Eric Pouech  ---
Thanks for the report. It makes sense.

but:
- I think we should get rid of gdb reference in 'help' command since wine's
format specification is different from gdb's. And also, the reference to 'man
winedbg' should be extended to all commands.
- this also shows that we'd need another format specifier for 64bit integers
(using /a only works on 64bit debugger, and is more suited for pointers)

The patches have to be created as a merge request in Wine git-lab.
