This patch adds 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>"}'
In order to somewhat mirror what is done in _formatted_string(),
then for non-binary attributes attempt to convert it to an int.
