Clean up format_hex_ex()

Fix a potential null-pointer dereference, and make the code a bit more
readable while doing so.

The NULL dereference could not be triggered, because the current code
never called format_hex_ex() with maxouput == 0 and separator == NULL.
But it's nicer to not depend on that.

Our use of int vs size_t for lengths needs some attention too, but I'm
not pulling that into this patch.  Instead I decided to just make the
(previously existing) assumption that INT_MAX <= SIZE_MAX explicit by
adding a static_assert().
