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.
