NIFI-2623: Fixed support for binary types in SelectHiveQL
This code was originally copied from JdbcCommon, where arrays are treated
as binary (byte array, e.g.) and getBytes() is called on the ResultSet.
In Hive, getBytes() is not supported but binary objects are already byte
arrays or ByteBuffers, so they just need to be put into the Avro record as-is.
Arrays were removed from the binary type processing because they are a
first-class (albeit complex) data type in Hive. As of this PR they will be
handled as Strings, but
[NIFI-2622](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2622) describes and
prescribes the changes needed to correctly handle arrays.
