[Dovecot] Pigeonhole 2.2 build issue on arm

When building Pigeonhole 2.2 for ARM, the following warnings are
produced:
uri-mailto.c: In function '_parse_hex_value':
uri-mailto.c:139: warning: comparison is always false due to limited
range of data type
uri-mailto.c:145: warning: comparison is always false due to limited
range of data type
The problem is a test assuming that char is a signed type :
static inline int _decode_hex_digit(char digit)
{
...
static bool _parse_hex_value(const char **in, char *out)
{
char value; // <<--- change to "int".
if ( **in == '\0' || (value=_decode_hex_digit(**in)) < 0 )
return FALSE;
*out = value << 4;
(*in)++;
if ( **in == '\0' || (value=_decode_hex_digit(**in)) < 0 )
return FALSE;
This is untested, but I changed the "char value" to "int value" to
correct the signed comparisons. There are no warnings when building
for x86 in either case, btw.
Also, the two tests for "**in == '\0'" seem to be unnecessary?
