Print potential pointer value of readable stack memory in hs_err file

      Description

        I often see this line printed in hs_err files:
        stack at sp + 2 slots: 0x00007000042e6930 points into unknown readable memory: 7c cb b3 05 01 00 00 00

        And almost always want to convert the byte order so that I can see if this is a pointer that I care about for the debug session.

        I propose that we print the full pointer value if the address is aligned. For example:
        stack at sp + 2 slots: 0x00007000042e6930 points into unknown readable memory: 0x0000000105b3cb7c | 7c cb b3 05 01 00 00 00
