When a thread detects that a memory location was modified without its
watchpoint being hit, the report notes that a change was detected, but
does not provide concrete values for the change. Knowing the concrete
values can be very helpful in tracking down any racy writers (e.g. as
specific values may only be written in some portions of code, or under
certain conditions).
When we detect a modification, let's report the concrete old/new values,
along with the access's mask of relevant bits (and which relevant bits
were modified). This can make it easier to identify potential racy
writers. As the snapshots are at most 8 bytes, we can only report values
for acceses up to this size, but this appears to cater for the common
case.
When we detect a race via a watchpoint, we may or may not have concrete
values for the modification. To be helpful, let's attempt to log them
when we do as they can be ignored where irrelevant.
The resulting reports appears as follows, with values zero-padded to the
access width:

If an access mask is set, it is shown underneath the "value changed"
line as "bits changed: 0x<bits changed> with mask 0x<non-zero mask>".

[ elver@google.com: align "value changed" and "bits changed" lines,
which required massaging the message; do not print bits+mask if no
mask set. ]
