Commit b5f5f73 ("[cmdline] Expand settings within each command-line
token individually") effectively rendered the "uristring" setting type
obsolete, since strings containing whitespace no longer break the
command line parser. The concept of the "uristring" type is not well
defined, since URI escaping rules depend on which portion of a URI is
being escaped.
Remove the "uristring" type, converting it into an alias for the
"string" setting type so as to avoid breaking existing scripts.

[settings] Explicitly separate the concept of a completed fetched setting
The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the
definition of the specified setting (e.g. to add missing type
information). Clean up this interface by requiring callers to provide
an explicit buffer to contain the completed definition of the fetched
setting, if required.

[settings] Allow numeric_setting_value() to handle long setting values
Allow numeric_setting_value() to handle e.g. the byte sequence
00:00:00:00:12:34:56:78
by returning -ERANGE only if the value actually overflows the return
type.

Allow network device's "busloc" setting to be formatted as a PCI
bus:dev.fn address using e.g. ${net0/busloc:busdevfn}.

Use hex_decode() to parse "hex" and "hexhyp" settings. Note that this
parser is stricter than the old parser; it now requires exactly two
hex digits for each byte. (The old parser was based upon strtoul()
and so would allow leading whitespace and a leading plus or minus
sign.)

[test] Remove self-test for empty formatted setting value
Commit 5ad445f ("[settings] Treat an empty formatted value as meaning
"delete setting"") (re)defined the semantics of storing an empty
formatted setting as meaning "delete setting".
Remove the existing self-test using an empty formatted hex setting
value, since it no longer conforms to the defined semantics.
