 * Converts an integer value to a null-terminated string using the specified
 * base and stores the result in the array given by str parameter.
 * @param value Value to be converted to a string.
 * @param dest pointer to array in memory to store the resulting null-terminated
 * string.
 * @param base Numerical base used to represent the value as a string, between 2
 * and 16, where 10 means decimal base, 16 hexadecimal, 8 octal, and 2 binary.
 * @returns A pointer to the resulting null-terminated string, same as parameter
 * str.
 * @note The destination array must be pre-allocated by the calling function.
