NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe: fix IScsiHexToBin() hex parsing

The IScsiHexToBin() function has the following parser issues:

(1) If the *subject sequence* in "HexStr" is empty, the function returns
    EFI_SUCCESS (with "BinLength" set to 0 on output). Such inputs should
    be rejected.

(2) The function mis-handles a "HexStr" that ends with a stray nibble. For
    example, if "HexStr" is "0xABC", the function decodes it to the bytes
    {0xAB, 0x0C}, sets "BinLength" to 2 on output, and returns
    EFI_SUCCESS. Such inputs should be rejected.

(3) If an invalid hex char is found in "HexStr", the function treats it as
    end-of-hex-string, and returns EFI_SUCCESS. Such inputs should be
    rejected.

All of the above cases are remotely triggerable, as shown in a subsequent
patch, which adds error checking to the IScsiHexToBin() call sites. While
the initiator is not immediately compromised, incorrectly parsing CHAP_R
from the target, in case of mutual authentication, is not great.

Extend the interface contract of IScsiHexToBin() with
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER, for reporting issues (1) through (3), and implement
the new checks.
