/**
 * @name hexFixLength
 * @summary Shifts a hex string to a specific bitLength
 * @description
 * Returns a `0x` prefixed string with the specified number of bits contained in the return value. (If bitLength is -1, length checking is not done). Values with more bits are trimmed to the specified length. Input values with less bits are returned as-is by default. When `withPadding` is set, shorter values are padded with `0`.
 * @example
 * <BR>
 *
 * ```javascript
 * import { hexFixLength } from '@polkadot/util';
 *
 * console.log('fixed', hexFixLength('0x12', 16)); // => 0x12
 * console.log('fixed', hexFixLength('0x12', 16, true)); // => 0x0012
 * console.log('fixed', hexFixLength('0x0012', 8)); // => 0x12
 * ```
