xen: Fix check-endbr.sh with mawk
check-endbr.sh works with gawk, but fails with mawk. The produced $ALL
file is smaller as it is missing 0x$vma_lo on every line. With mawk,
int(0x2A) just produces 0, instead of the expected value.
The use of hexadecimal-constant in awk is an optional part of the posix
spec, and mawk doesn't seems to implemented.
There is a way to convert an hexadecimal to a number be putting it in a
string, and awk as I understand is supposed to use strtod() to convert
the string to a number when needed. The expression 'int("0x15") + 21'
would produce the expected value in `mawk` but now `gawk` won't convert
the string to a number unless we use the option "--non-decimal-data".
So let's convert the hexadecimal number before using it in the awk
script. The shell as no issue with dealing with hexadecimal-constant so
we'll simply use the expression "$(( 0x15 ))" to convert the value
before using it in awk.
Note: This does introduce a latent portability bug, which fixed in a separate
change to avoid mixing complexity/explanations.
