[PATCH v3 6/7] lib/hexdump.c: Allow multiple groups to be separated by spaces

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair at d-silva.org>

Similar to the previous patch, this patch separates groups by 2 spaces for
the hex fields, and 1 space for the ASCII field.

eg.
buf:00000000: 454d414e 43415053  4e495f45 00584544  NAMESPAC E_INDEX.
buf:00000010: 00000000 00000002  00000000 00000000  ........ ........
