Support decoding binary tagged fields to byte slices #324

In the current state, base64-encoded fields tagged with !!binary can be decoded to strings, but not to byte slices: cannot unmarshal !!binary `XXXXX ...` into []uint8.

Could both string and []byte be supported ? It seems logical to allow storing binary data into []byte variables.

Or if you prefer, here is the change against v2: #991. I'm really hoping these can get merged so I don't have to maintain them. @niemeyer
