Who do you think would benefit from this?

Most Privoxy user are probably not familiar with bitmasks and
hexadecimal values so this change would make the config file
even more cryptic for them.

As someone who understands the concept, I still find decimal
values easier to remember than the hexadecimal representation.

Eventually I'd like to deprecate the whole debug directive
and introduce something like:

log-categories header,debug,connect...
