[En-Nut-Discussion] Extending printf for handling 64 bit values

One more argument:

Every int argument is casted to uint64_t, even if you do not use long
long arguments at all.

On an 8 bit CPU, 64 bit calculations (especially divisions) create a BIG
overhead. Lots of wasted CPU cycles.

For reasons of speed it might be a even better idea to use an own
variable for each argument type here!

Best regards,

Ole
