Make it easier to format a dormant CEEPIPI enclave in a dump

When a dump contains a dormant CEEPIPI environment, the only handle available may be the token returned when the environment was initialised.
This can be used in the "VERBX LEDATA 'PTBL(address)' command to format the PreInit table, but there is no easy way to find the CAA address or format any other parts of the enclave.
It would be really useful if the PTBL output formatted the associated CAA address.
Ideally, this could be in the form of a command, similar to the commands that get included in the NTHREADS(*) output.
