[issue9951] introduce bytes.hex method

Chris Lasher added the comment: int has int.from_bytes and int.to_bytes. Currently, bytes has bytes.fromhex. Would the core developers please consider naming the method bytes.tohex instead of bytes.hex, so there's at least a modicum of consistency in the method names of Python's builtin types

Two things: 1) math.floor returns a float, not an int. Doing an int() conversion on a float already floors the value, anyways. Try replacing math.floor(...) with int(...) e.g. math.floor(5.9) 5.0 int(5.9) 5 2) What kind of data is in f2m? If f2m is a float, you will get float values in the
