Michael Meskes 050710b369 Add bytea datatype to ECPG.
So far ECPG programs had to treat binary data for bytea column as 'char' type.
But this meant converting from/to escaped format with PQunescapeBytea/
PQescapeBytea() and therefore forcing users to add unnecessary code and cost
for the conversion in runtime. By adding a dedicated datatype for bytea most of
this special handling is no longer needed.
