[New-bugs-announce] [issue28992] Use bytes.fromhex()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Proposed patch makes the code and tests using bytes.fromhex(). The benefit of bytes.fromhex() over manual converting hexadecimals to bytes:

1. This is the one obvious way to do it.

2. This is the fastest way to do it.
