This reverts commit 755cc644cc.
This approach is problematic in several ways. First, `intptr_t` could
cause undefined behavior in the subtraction when the pointer converts to
a negative value. Except in weird cases where the sign of the pointer
identifies a memory domain (like kernel vs userspace) I'm unaware of any
valid use of `intptr_t`.
Second, this macro was created to address a special need that cannot
rely on defined behavior: i.e. to ensure that data definitions are
placed in contiguous space and access is provided through linker-defined
symbols, for which the language required alignment and continuity is not
guaranteed.
A macro that calculates the span between linker symbols has very
different semantics than one that calculates the difference between
pointers. Replace the global PTR_DIFF with a documented local macro
that tests what's necessary without risking integer overflow.

Move duplicate hex2bin and add bin2hex function so that application can
use the functions and avoid code duplication.

Some code casts pointers to ints in order to obtain their difference.
The compiler complains on 64-bit targets as an int is not wide enough
to hold a pointer.
Let's introduce the PTR_DIFF() helper macro to applies the proper cast
to pointers before performing a difference on them, and still return the
result as an int which should be large enough in practice.

move misc/util.h to sys/util.h and
create a shim for backward-compatibility.
No functional changes to the headers.
A warning in the shim can be controlled with CONFIG_COMPAT_INCLUDES.
