We added new methods into some shell objects:

ObjectId: We exposed the new constructor `Object.createFromHexString`
Binary: We exposed the new constructor `Binary.createFromBase64String` that should be used preferably.
Also, Binaries are now printed differently in the shell, using the new Binary.Binary.createFromBase64String('the value as base64').

An example image can be seen in: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1822138/256283057-fb62b890-81cc-4459-bc78-e4f60aea5c72.png

Add support in the shell for the changes introduced in https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE-4855

Make sure the new form is used when displaying Binary objects

Tasks:

ObjectId: we need to expose the createFromHexString method
Binary: we need to expose the createFromBase64String method
Binary, we will change how we print it in the REPL, to the new format: Binary.createFromBase64String('the value as base64')

depends on

NODE-4855 Add static fromX bson type creation methods to Binary and ObjectId
