Replace use of HexPrimitive in serde_as_consensus

After the removal of from_str from HexPrimitive, only a single use of
HexPrimitive remains in the serde_as_consensus module. It should be
replaced prior to moving.

Replace use of HexPrimitive with simplified in-line ConsensusHex object.

What changed, and why it matters
