[Bug binutils/4430] We aren't consistent on displacement in x86 disassembler

I guess that the intend was for 8bit displacement, we use decimal and
for 16/32bit displacement, we use hex. But we didn't do it correctly:

bash-3.1$ cat y.s
        mov 12(%rip), %eax
        mov 12(%r12), %eax
bash-3.1$ gcc -c y.s
bash-3.1$ objdump -d y.o

y.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:   8b 05 0c 00 00 00       mov    12(%rip),%eax        # 0x12
   6:   41 8b 44 24 0c          mov    0xc(%r12),%eax

We can do one of

1. Use decimal on all 8bit displacements and hex on all 16/32bit
displacement.
2. Use hex on all displacements.
