[PATCH i-g-t] tests/intel/intel_hwmon: Warn on zero-valued numeric attributes

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add a check for numeric hwmon attribute values and emit a warning when a
valid numeric attribute reports 0.
This acts as a sanity check for valid telemetry data reported via hwmon.

Exclude *_label attributes from this validation to avoid false warnings on
non-numeric label entries.

Also include the necessary headers required for numeric parsing helpers.
