lib: create common ascii hex array
Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it. Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value. Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many places in the tree that will be consolidated.
