safe-bash: add hexdump (alias/format over the existing xxd/od engines) #684

Description

@kamilio

Missing: hexdump. xxd and od exist, but many scripts call hexdump/hd.

Behavior: GNU/BSD hexdump [-C] [-v] [-n LEN] [-s SKIP] [-e FORMAT] and hd (= hexdump -C). Can reuse the bounded byte-dump engine already backing xxd/od; -e custom formats optional. Bound input and format complexity.

From the safe-bash command gap analysis (2026-09-08). Sandbox constraints apply: bounded input/CPU/memory, VFS-only paths, cooperative cancellation, no host process/network beyond the existing curl authorizer.
