Hello,

Please review this proposal for a new API to conveniently generate and 
display binary data using hexadecimal string representation.
It supports both bulk and stream operations and it can also generate the 
well-known hexdump format [1].

This latest revision addresses review comments provided earlier.
These include adding methods to support for data supplied in a 
ByteBuffer, exposing the default formatter implementation as a public
static and dropping the superfluous 'Hex' term from several method names.

Thanks
