This patch add support for decoding hex input, so
that binary attributes can be read through --json.
Example (using future wireguard.yaml):
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/pyynl/cli.py --family wireguard \
--do set-device --json '{"ifindex":3,
"private-key":"2a ae 6c 35 c9 4f cf <... to 32 bytes>"}'
Signed-off-by: Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen <redacted>Reviewed-by: Donald Hunter <donald.hunter@gmail.com> FWIW, the hex can include spaces or not when using bytes.fromhex(). When formatting hex for output, I chose to include spaces, but I don't really know if that was a good choice or not.
