    awk: Issue a warning for old hex behavior.
    
    Since FreeBSD has allowed "0x" hex strings to be converted to integers
    for a long time, and since upstream has killed that behavior, warn about
    this issue. This will allow us to deprecate this behavior for 14.0 while
    giving our users of 12.x and 13.x fair warning.
