[patch v4] PS3: Fix printing of os-area magic numbers

Subject: ps3: Fix printing of os-area magic numbers

Fix a bug in the printing of the os-area magic numbers which assumed that
magic numbers were zero terminated strings.  The magic numbers are represented
in memory as integers.  If the os-area sections are not initialized correctly
they could contained random data that would be printed to the display.
Also unify the handling of header and db magic numbers and make both
of type array of u8.

v2: o handle unprintable chars.

v3: o breakout string dump into helper dump_field()
    o unify handling of header and db magic numbers

v4: rename dump_field() args
