hex_to_bytes(): simpler replacement for `get_oid_hex_segment()`

Now that `get_oid_hex_segment()` does less, it makes sense to rename
it and simplify its semantics:

* Instead of a `hex_len` parameter, which was the number of hex
  characters (and had to be even), use a `len` parameter, which is the
  number of resulting bytes. This removes then need for the check that
  `hex_len` is even and to divide it by two to determine the number of
  bytes. For good hygiene, declare the `len` parameter to be `size_t`
  instead of `unsigned int`.

* Change the order of the arguments to the more traditional (dst,
  src, len).

* Rename the function to `hex_to_bytes()`.

* Remove a loop variable: just count `len` down instead.
