/// (De)serializes byte arrays as hex-string for human-readable formats (like
/// json) or as raw bytes otherwise
///
/// # Motivation
/// We want byte arrays to be serialized as bytes for binary formats, to keep
/// size of serialized data minimal. For that purpose, [`serde_with::Bytes`]
/// should suffice. However, serializing data as bytes on human-readable formats
/// (like json) is not efficient nor is it human-readable: bytes are serialized
/// as list of integers. Hex encoding is preferred for such formats as it's more
/// compact and readable.
///
/// # Private API
/// `HexOrBin` is shared between several crates in the project, however we do not
/// publicly expose it. Although it works perfectly fine in our case, it may not
/// work well sometimes due to limitations.
///
/// # Limitations
/// * Only works with byte arrays that have staticly-known size. `Array::default()`
///   should return `Array` filled with zeroes
/// * Using `HexOrBin` compiles, but deseralization basically always fails except for
///   deserializing empty arrays
/// * Only defined for arrays that implement [`Default`] trait. Note that `[u8; N]`
///   implements this trait only for limited amount of `N`.
