Merge #14734: fix an undefined behavior in uint::SetHex

0f459d868d85053f1cc066ea9099793f88cbd655 fix an undefined behavior in uint::SetHex (Kaz Wesley)

Pull request description:

  Decrementing psz beyond the beginning of the string is UB, even though
  the out-of-bounds pointer is never dereferenced.

  I don't think any clang sanitizer covers this, so I don't see any way a test could catch the original behavior.
