hex: Simplify hex_encode

The documentation for hex_encode indicates that it returns simply true or
false. The old implementation was returning the written length on success,
cast to boolean. This will elicit a warning under MSVC.

On further examination, there is no need to check/modify the length inside
the loop, since we can check it once before starting. As a result the code
can be simplified a bit.

A side affect of this change is that nothing will be written at all if the
length is incorrect, vs the previous code writing characters until the length
available is exhausted. I prefer the new semantics but YMMV.
