feat: Added support for UINT16 in hex encoding.

[chrisdutz]

While adding your simulator to my drivers build, I came across the problem, that In order to correctly initialize my test data, I had to convert it to HEX and from that convert word-chunks back to decimal in order to initialize the registers ... being able to do this in Hex would simplify things.

I also ran into some issues when working in IntelliJ with the project ... it seems the gradle wrapper was pulling in a very old version of gradle (one IntelliJ no longer supported) ... would you be interested in more PRs for some build housekeeping?

Hey @chrisdutz of course, feel free to contribute. Have been busy these months, but I have been working on some features like enhancing endianness customization, supporting serial communication (so PLC can communicate with it RS485 and we can simulate sensors and devices and anticipate the integration and testing). Let me know in case you have any other idea.

I you could enable "Discussions" on this repo I could possibly drop in a few ideas? Especially for your Serial support.
