BINARY and VARBINARY columns can only be read as string

[crash2burn]

Currently we are able to insert Bytes but when reading must specify read(String) not read(Bytes) as there will be an error otherwise. I believe it might be better to support reading a slice for these fields.

DB.open "mysql://root@localhost/test" do |db|
  db.exec "drop table if exists contacts"
  db.exec "create table contacts (name varchar(30), age int, btest VARBINARY(16))"
  db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?, ?)", "John Doe", 30, Bytes.new(3, 90_u8)

  args = [] of DB::Any
  args << "Sarah"
  args << 33
  args << Bytes.new(3, 90_u8)
  db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?, ?)", args

  puts "max age:"
  puts db.scalar "select max(age) from contacts" # => 33

  puts "contacts:"
  db.query "select name, age, btest from contacts order by age desc" do |rs|
    puts "#{rs.column_name(0)} (#{rs.column_name(1)}) (#{rs.column_name(2)})"
    # => name (age)
    rs.each do
      puts "#{rs.read(String)} (#{rs.read(Int32)}) (#{rs.read(Bytes)})"
      # => Sarah (33) (ZZZ)
      # => John Doe (30) (ZZZ)
    end
  end
end

max age:
33
contacts:
name (age) (btest)
