docs: printk-formats: Stop encouraging use of unnecessary %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]

Standard integer promotion is already done and %hx and %hhx is useless
so do not encourage the use of %hh[xudi] or %h[xudi].

As Linus said in:

It's a pointless warning, making for more complex code, and
making people remember esoteric printf format details that have no
reason for existing.

The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them
being used if if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a
"char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off
just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious).

So if what you have a "char" (or unsigned char) you should always just
print it out as an "int", knowing that the compiler already did the
proper type conversion.
