hex_to_bin

Converts a string of hexidecimal digits to a string of binary digits.

bin = hex_to_bin("4");          //  bin == "0100"
bin = hex_to_bin("0E");         //  bin == "00001110"
bin = hex_to_bin("1F");         //  bin == "00011111"
bin = hex_to_bin("55");         //  bin == "01010101"
bin = hex_to_bin("AA");         //  bin == "10101010"
