add osmo_hexdump_buf() and test
Add osmo_hexdump_buf() as an all-purpose hexdump function, which all other
osmo_hexdump_*() implementations now call. It absorbs the static
_osmo_hexdump(). Add tests for osmo_hexdump_buf().
Rationale: recently during patch review, a situation came up where two hexdumps
in a single printf would have been useful. Now I've faced a similar situation
again, in ongoing development. So I decided it is time to provide this API.
The traditional osmo_hexdump() API returns a non-const char*, which should
probably have been a const instead. Particularly this new function may return a
string constant "" if the buf is NULL or empty, so return const char*. That is
why the older implementations calling osmo_hexdump_buf() separately return the
buffer instead of the const return value directly.
