[PATCH 02/16] isxdigit: cast input to unsigned char

From

Otherwise, callers must do so or risk triggering -Wchar-subscript (and rightfully so; a signed char might cause us to use a bogus negative index into the hexval_table).

While we are dropping the now-unnecessary casts from the caller in urlmatch.c, we can get rid of similar casts in actually parsing the hex by using the hexval() helper, which implicitly casts to unsigned (but note that we cannot implement isxdigit in terms of hexval(), as it also casts its return value to unsigned).
