Hex Editor for binary files
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Rust, as a systems language, is often used to read and write binary data. In the process of building these projects, users might need to read a crash log, open a hex dump, or reverse engineer a compiled program. All of these use cases require some kind of hex editor. Further, having a hex editor gives us an easy fallback for any unrecognized or impossible to display files types. **Describe the solution you'd like** Something that allows the viewing of both the raw hex, the ASCII characters associated with them, and navigation / selections across both simultaneously. I am unsure about manipulations, I do not have experience with hex editors myself. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Use an external program, and simply ignore unrecognized files. **Screenshots** Here's what VSCode's hex editor looks like: <img width="909" alt="Screen Shot 2022-07-08 at 11 00 34" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2280405/178046096-5fa78183-7db7-413c-8b53-96cc333b8bee.png">

I hate that this is how AI is being used..
inexperienced protobuf user here -- why do non-googlers generally use protobuf?
