printf: Add print format (%pra) for struct range
The use of struct range in the CXL subsystem is growing. In particular,
the addition of Dynamic Capacity devices uses struct range in a number
of places which are reported in debug and error messages.
To wit requiring the printing of the start/end fields in each print
became cumbersome. Dan Williams mentions in [1] that it might be time
to have a print specifier for struct range similar to struct resource.
A few alternatives were considered including '%par', '%r', and '%pn'.
%pra follows that struct range is similar to struct resource (%p[rR])
but needs to be different. Based on discussions with Petr and Andy
'%pra' was chosen.[2]
Andy also suggested to keep the range prints similar to struct resource
though combined code. Add hex_range() to handle printing for both
pointer types.
Finally introduce DEFINE_RANGE() as a parallel to DEFINE_RES_*() and use
it in the tests.
