patch to add a pdftops -binary option for binary output

This patch adds a -binary option to pdftops to write binary PostScript with -level1 and -level1sep.  By default, pdftops writes hex-encoded data in Level 1 PostScript.  Binary data is non-standard in Level 1 PostScript but reduces the file size and can be useful when Level 1 PostScript is required only for its restricted use of PostScript operators.
Some days I need to run as many as 1,000 PDFs through pdftops with -level1sep, and this change has the potential to decrease the disk usage by 50%.  I need Level 1 so that I can do software color separation, but my printers support Level 3 and can handle binary data.
