Broken thread priority sign

[diggit]

Hi,
Zephyr uses negative priority values for cooperative threads, like system WQ. GDB sees those as interpreted as u8

255 for WQ instead of it's real value of -1 etc.

I am not really familiar with jlink RTOS api, but I think on the line 567 the format specifier should be hhd instead of hhu for signed 8 bit integer (i8).

If jlink accepts only non negative priorities and this is intended behavior, it should be noted somewhere.

Now I see, whole printed string gets into GDB and other tools and yes, hhd format specifier fixes displayed value.
