seq_buf: Add printing formatted hex dumps

Provided function is an analogue of print_hex_dump().

Implementing this function in seq_buf allows using for multiple
purposes (e.g. for tracing) and therefore prevents from code duplication
in every layer that uses seq_buf.

print_hex_dump() is an essential part of logging data to dmesg. Adding
similar capability for other purposes is beneficial to all users.

Example usage:
seq_buf_hex_dump(seq, "", DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, 16, 4, buf,
 ARRAY_SIZE(buf), true);
Example output:
0000000000000000 ffffff10 ffffff32 ffff3210  ........2....2..
00000010ffff3210 83d00437 c0700000 00000000  .2..7.....p.....
0000002002010004 0000000f 0000000f 00004002  .............@..
0000003000000fff 00000000                    ........
