Agniva De Sarker 143b56b5ac Use hex.EncodeToString to encode to hex ...

Using the EncodeToString function from the encoding/hex package
is much faster than calling the fmt.Sprintf with %x

Benchmark results below with the following code

func BenchmarkHexPrint(b *testing.B) {
  data := []byte("hellothere")
  for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
    // _ = fmt.Sprintf("%x", data)
    _ = hex.EncodeToString(data)
  }
}
