Feedback reports: Make MAC address redaction more obvious?

Project Member Reported by tnagel@chromium.org, Jul 28 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 59.0.3071.134 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Chrome OS

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Hit Alt+Shift+I to start a feedback report
(2) Click the "system and app information" link
(3) Expand netlog
(4) Search for "bssid"

What is the expected result?
BSSIDs should be redacted.

What happens instead?
BSSIDs are (partly) redacted, but at first glance they look believeable.

Sample line:
[...] Representative endpoint updated for service 97. [SSID=78], bssid: 04:35:3b:00:00:6e, signal: -93, [...]

Any chance we could change that to something like below to make it more obvious that redaction is taking place? (Speaking just for myself, this has confused me on several occasions.)

[...] Representative endpoint updated for service 97. [SSID=78], bssid: [MAC=110 VEND=04:35:3b], signal: -93, [...]
