The offset of case DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET always starts from 0. Currently,
the output width is fixed to 8. But we usually dump only tens or hundreds
of bytes, occasionally thousands of bytes. Therefore, the output offset
value always has a number of leading zeros, which increases the number of
bytes printed and reduces readability. Let's minimize the output width of
the offset based on the number of significant bits of its maximum value.

Before:
dump_size=36:
00000000: c0 ba 8c 80 00 80 ff ff 6c 93 ee 2f ee bf ff ff
00000010: 00 50 1e 98 ff 27 ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020: 80 ca 2f 98

After:
dump_size=8:
0: c0 ba 89 80 00 80 ff ff

dump_size=36:
00: c0 3a 91 80 00 80 ff ff 6c 93 ae 76 30 ce ff ff
10: 00 60 cd 60 7d 4e ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
20: 40 9e 29 40

dump_size=300:
000: c0 ba 8d 80 00 80 ff ff 6c 93 ce d4 78 a7 ff ff
010: 00 00 16 18 0c 40 ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
020: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e8 bc 8d 80 00 80 ff ff
... ...
110: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
120: 00 08 12 01 0c 40 ff ff 00 00 01 00
