I moved the dec/bin/hex handling from breakcond.c to str.c along with
the address range parsing from debugui.c.  Then I changed breakcond.c
and debugui.c to use these new string functions:
- Str_GetNumber()
- Str_ParseRange()
which understand the prefixes.

Now all the numbers in the debugger are understood as decimal unless
they're prefixed with '$' (for hexadecimal) or '%' (for binary decimal).

(only exception are the data bytes given to the memwrite command, I thought
it better to keep them still as hex.  I think that kind of data is mostly
given as hexadecimals and entering '$' for all the values could get quite
tedious...)


I also added a "value" ("v") helper command which shows the given number
in the supported bin/dec/hex number bases.

Some other debugui.c changes:
- changed remaining unsigned longs to (more correct) Uint32
  (needed by prefix supporting functions)
- renamed nBreakPoint variable to more descriptive BreakAddr
  (in address based  breakpoint functions)
