quasiliterals: buffers in hex, separation for strings and buffers.

In this commit, output variables in the TXR Pattern language and
in TXR Lisp quasiliterals now support separator strings for values
that are strings and buffers.  Values which are buffers appear
differently: they are rendered as a sequence of lower case hex
digit pairs. When a string-valued variable specifies a separator,
the separator appears between characters of the string value.
Previously, the separator was ignored. When a buffer-valued
variable specifies a separator. the separator appears between
pairs of digits, not between digits. For instance if ethaddr
is a variable holding #b'08:00:27:79:c7:f5', then the quasiliteral
`@ethaddr` produces "08002779c7f" whereas `@{ethaddr ":"}`
produces "08:00:27:79:c7:f5".

* buf.[ch] (buf_str_sep): New function.

* lib.[ch] (fmt_str_sep): New function.

* eval.c (fmt_cat): If the argument is a string, and a separator
is present, replace the value with the result of calling
fmt_str_sep. If the argument is a buffer, and a separator is
present, use buf_str_sep to convert to a string, otherwise
use tostringp.

* txr.1: Section on Output Variables updated.

* tests/012/readprint.tl: New tests.
