The current implementation is not suitable for user provided data
because it does not detect invalid inputs in many cases. For example,
the string "aa0xbb" is successfully converted to the 3 bytes: 0xaa,
0x00 and 0xbb. An other example is "aabi" which is successfully
converted to the 2 bytes: 0xaa and 0x0b. Both are obviously incorrect.
Make unhexify() robust on invalid data and use more appropriate data
types for its parameters. Also, add a small documentation for the
function.
