[PATCH 04/46] s390: Enhance formatting of instruction formats in documentation

This patch refines the formatting of s390 instruction formats within the GNU Assembler’s documentation. It standardizes the width of fields in ASCII-art diagrams to use 4 characters per nibble plus a separator, ensuring consistent presentation for instructions of the same byte size. A template is also introduced to aid in drawing and verifying these diagrams.
