Support hex strings to prevent broken log lines

[ls-todd-lunter]

Discussion

While trying to record Firestore logs within our app, we started to notice many log lines were being reported as (null) in the Console. This seems to be because when logging the reference to the C++ objects, the %s format was adding non-UTF8 encodable characters into the string. This meant when using MakeNSString in the Firestore logger, those non-UTF8 characters failed the string initialization, and it returns nil.

Since there is already quite a lot of use of absl in the repo, I figured we could quick-win, use that to convert the string to hex and record that instead. I suspect logging the object was meant just to see if the value drifted overtime, rather than anything intrinsic to the object itself, so the hex value should do the same thing.

Testing

I only added a test for the record hex value itself. Otherwise, it will behave the same for other types.

API Changes

None, internal to the SDK.

Hi @paulb777 apologies, we finally got the CLA resolved! That check is now green.

Thanks @ls-todd-lunter! - Please address the code style issues showing up in the check CI - Most likely from four-space vs two-space indenting.

Rebased on main to see if it resolves the test failure. Otherwise, I don't think my logging changes would've affected the FIRCompositeIndexQueryTests.

@wu-hui PTAL

[ls-todd-lunter]

Rebased on latest release. @wu-hui if you could take a look, this still prevents us from using the current release since some logs fail to be converted to NSStrings.
