Rename "dump" commands

Hi,

In the next release of HaRET (v0.4.6) I plan on renaming the existing
dump commands. There are five dump commands in mainline haret:

dump mmu
dump ac97
dump cp
dump gpio
dump gpiost

I plan to change these to the following commands:

mmudump, ac97dump, cpdump, gpiodump, gpiostdump

The main benefit to this change is that it will allow users to see all
the available actions from a single help screen. The main
disadvantage is that it may confuse existing users that already know
the existing commands (eg, "dump mmu").

I think the current code is a little confusing for developers adding
new commands, because it isn't clear whether one should use a "dump"
variant or a "command" variant -- in reality there is no real
difference between the two.

Note that previously, dump commands had the ability to redirect their
output to a file. The latest haret code can redirect any command to a
file (using the new "REDIR" command).

Please let me know if there are any comments or concerns.
