This method is responsible for validating the EVM code. It takes a hexadecimal string
representation of the EVM code as input. The method first converts the hexadecimal string to
Bytes. It then checks if the code follows the EOF layout. If the layout is valid, it retrieves
the code from the EVM. If the code is invalid, it returns an error message with the reason for
the invalidity. If the code is valid, it returns a string with "OK" followed by the hexadecimal
string representation of each code section.

@param hexCode the hexadecimal string representation of the EVM code
@return a string indicating whether the code is valid or not, and in case of validity, the
    hexadecimal string representation of each code section
