Setting EPICS_DB_CONVERT_DECIMAL_ONLY to YES/yes change the dbPut() and dbGet() string to integer conversions to the original decimal only policy.

Allow hex and octal strings in dbPut and dbGet
It is now possible to convert hex and octal strings to integer fields
with dbPut(), dbGet() and related functions like the iocsh command
dbpf or through database links.
Possible incompatibility: Up to now, leading 0s have been ignored,
now they switch to octal mode.
For backward compatibility, this behavior can be switched off, returning
to the old decimal only conversions, by setting the environment variable
EPICS_DB_CONVERT_DECIMAL_ONLY to YES (case insensitive) before iocInit.
