Proposal to improve the debugging protocol used by openMSX pseudo-device.
Based on: https://openmsx.org/manual/user.html#debugdevice
Debug device protocol
The additions are surrounded with [] prefix. This proposal is 100% compatible with the old one if unused bits was set to 0.

Note: The data address must be sent via the data register. The address must point to the address of the formatting string, followed by the various parameters. 8-bit values are stored on 16-bits.

Note: 16-bit values are sent in little-endian order (low byte first).
