[PATCH] cmd: test: Add operators to deal with hexadecimal numbers.

The DLUG states the following:
  Almost all U-Boot commands expect numbers to be entered in hexadecimal
  input format.

Besides this fact, also most commands output hex values.

Given this facts, we need to be able to use the information provided
by to/from commands in scripts. The test command does not support
operating on hexadecimal input formats. This leads to very surprising
tests like this (simple_strtol("ff", 10) == 0):

  => if test "ff" -eq 0; then echo "equal"; fi
  equal
  =>

This patch introduces comparison operators for the test command,
that allow parameters in hexadecimal format. So the test above
can be implemented as follows:

  => if test "ff" -heq 0; then echo "equal"; fi
  =>
