    hexstrtobin: Add a library function to decode ASCII hex into binary
    
    This function will turn a string of ASCII hex characters into an array
    of bytes.  It will ignore any non-ASCII-hex characters in the input
    string and decode up to len bytes of data from it.
    
    This can be used for turning MAC addresses or UUID strings into binary
    for storage or further processing.
    
    Sample usage:
      uint8_t buf[6];
      hexstrtobin("00:0e:c6:81:72:01", buf, sizeof(buf));
      acpigen_emit_stream(buf, sizeof(buf));
