Session data display in extensions: binary data shown as 'null'

[tminich]

If you have binary data in your session both Firefox and Chrome extensions show it as 'null' in the Request section. I don't expect it to be actually displayed, but it would be nice to see something like '<Binary Data (Length 64)>' or similar instead as 'null' is quite misleading.

Interesting, we already have a code that stores binary database bindings in hex format

I guess we could use a similar code when serializing data globally. I'm a worried about the performance impact of running preg_match possibly hundreds or thousands of times though. Will need to investigate more.

Well, for me personally the data itself doesn't really matter, I'd just like a 'something there' instead of 'null' =)
