Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hexdump: Implement macro for converting large buffers

Define for_each_line_in_hex_dump which loops over a buffer and calls
hex_dump_to_buffer for each segment in the buffer. This allows the
caller to decide what to do with the resulting string and is not
limited by a specific printing format like print_hex_dump.
