trace: rename trace_print_hex_seq arg and add kdoc
Steven suggested to improve trace_print_hex_seq() a bit after commit 2acae0d5b0f7 ("trace: add variant without spacing in trace_print_hex_seq") in two ways: i) by adding a kdoc comment for the helper function itself and ii) by renaming 'spacing' argument into 'concatenate' to better denote that we don't add spaces between each hex bytes.
