The current API for Base16 (and Base64) encoding requires the caller
to always provide sufficient buffer space. This prevents the use of
the generic encoding/decoding functionality in some situations, such
as in formatting the hex setting types.
Implement a generic hex_encode() (based on the existing
format_hex_setting()), implement base16_encode() and base16_decode()
in terms of the more generic hex_encode() and hex_decode(), and update
all callers to provide the additional buffer length parameter.

The implementation of strtoul() has a partially unknown provenance.
Rewrite this code to avoid potential licensing uncertainty.
Since we now use -ffunction-sections, there is no need to place
strtoull() in a separate file from strtoul().

base16_encode() will fail to generate a terminating NUL if the length
of the raw data is zero, since the loop calling sprintf() will never
execute.
Fix by explicitly terminating the result with a NUL.

Provide a generic hex_decode() routine which can be shared between the
Base16 code and the "hex" and "hexhyp" settings parsers.
