The test data arrays, containing pointers to test strings, are never
modified, so they can be const, too.  Hence mark them "const" and
"__initconst".

This moves 28 pointers from ".init.data" to ".init.rodata".

The test_data_1_le[] array is a const array of const char *.  To avoid
dropping any const information, we need to use "const char * const *",
not just "const char **".

I'm not sure why the different test arrays end up having different
const'ness, but let's make the pointer we use to traverse them as const
as possible, since we modify neither the array of pointers _or_ the
pointers we find in the array.

const char *...[] is not const, but an array of pointer to const.  So
these arrays cannot be __initconst, but must be __initdata

This fixes section conflicts with LTO.

This patch makes hexdump return the number of bytes placed in the buffer
excluding trailing NUL.  In the case of overflow it returns the desired
amount of bytes to produce the entire dump.  Thus, it mimics snprintf().

This will be useful for users that would like to repeat with a bigger
buffer.

Test different scenarios of function calls located in lib/hexdump.c.

Currently hex_dump_to_buffer() is only tested and test data is provided
for little endian CPUs.
