 * does not throw an error when provided values that are not hex strings. In
 * addition, and by default, this method will return true for hex strings that
 * meet the length requirement of a hex address, but are not prefixed with `0x`
 * Finally, if the mixedCaseUseChecksum flag is true and a mixed case string is
 * provided this method will validate it has the proper checksum formatting.
 * @param {string} possibleAddress - Input parameter to check against
 * @param {Object} [options] - options bag
 * @param {boolean} [options.allowNonPrefixed] - If true will first ensure '0x'
 *  is prepended to the string
 * @param {boolean} [options.mixedCaseUseChecksum] - If true will treat mixed
 *  case addresses as checksum addresses and validate that proper checksum
 *  format is used
 * @returns {boolean} whether or not the input is a valid hex address
