Subject: [PATCH] encoding/hex: change lookup table back to string

CL 27254 changed hextable to a byte array for performance.
CL 28219 fixed the compiler so that that is no longer necessary.
As Kirill notes in #15808, a string is preferable
as the linker can easily de-dup it.
So go back. No performance changes.
