[PATCHv3] printf: Add format for 8-byte EUI-64 type

MAC addresses may be formed using rules based on EUI-64, which is 2 bytes
longer than a typical 6-byte MAC. This patch adds a long specifier to
the %pM format to support the extended unique identifier.

Since there are multiple valid possible permutations of format specifiers,
the decoding is done in a loop, and the default ':' separator is
initialized at declaration time. A side effect of this allows 'F' and
'R' both be specified, so these are appended to the documentation.

>From previous version:

  Use 'while (isalpha(*++fmt))' to loop over all the format specfiers,
  and updated documentation with the new possible formats.
