[PATCH] vsprintf and docs: Add X to %ph for upper case output

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

Uppercase hex output of small char arrays is moderately frequently used.
Add a mechanism to support the %*ph output as uppercase using 'X'.

 For printing small buffers (up to 64 bytes long) as a hex string with a
-certain separator. For larger buffers consider using
+certain separator. Typical output is lowercase, formats with X are uppercase.
+For larger buffers consider using
 :c:func:`print_hex_dump`.
