[PATCH v2 0/2] iio: test: iio-test-format: char format test and overrun checks

[Raffaele Tranfaglia via B4 Relay]

Add a KUnit test for IIO_VAL_CHAR formatting and, as suggested by
Andy, make IIO_TEST_FORMAT_EXPECT_EQ() check that iio_format_value()
does not write past the formatted string.

A NUL character is currently emitted as is, so the attribute reads
back as "\0\n". The test documents this behaviour; please let me
know if it should rather be rejected or handled differently.

These patches were written with the help of an LLM-based coding
assistant, which I used to draft the code and commit messages. I
reviewed and tested all changes myself.

Tested with KUnit on arm64 QEMU.
