Switch all hex to bytes conversions to ethjs equivalents

[alivia-g]

fixes #624

Thanks for the PR. I'm not 100% sure what all you were working on here but this shouldn't require updating any dependencies (notably eslint and related plugins) and there should be no updates to docs. This is purely changing the fromHexString/toHexString methods over to the equivalents from @ethereumjs/util. We won't be able to take this in without removing all the extra stuff.

Notably, if you want to continue with this, it should be pretty close a simple "find/replace" across 3 main packages (portalnetwork, cli, era).

Let me know if you want to continue on this one.

I will continue working on this one, thank you for explaining.

Currently it's passing portalnetwork test and integration test, cli test still have 1 failed test. I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

Here is the failed cli test case:

 FAIL  test/rpc/portal/beaconLocalContent.spec.ts > portal_beaconLocalContent tests > should not find any local content
AssertionError: expected -32603 to equal -32009

- Expected

- -32009

Regarding the hex / bytes conversion functions --

hexToBytes and bytesToHex must be imported from @ethereumjs/util. There are several files in which you are attempting to import these from other libraries.

any other changes (such as to package.json) should be reverted. keep the scope of this PR limited to the conversion functions.

bytesToHex and hexToBytes should be imported from @ethereumjs/util

[acolytec3]

@alivia-g we updated package-lock so maybe the dev issues you were seeing should be resolved now. Are you still interested in giving this a go? If so, can you redo this PR along the lines @ScottyPoi described. Basically, everywhere you see toHexString and fromHexString imported from @chainsafe/discv5, those imports should be replaced by bytesToHex and hexToBytes imported from @ethereumjs/util.
