Support for binary attributes in resolver

Description

Reported by Luke Howard, moved from old Jira.

There's a case where I'd like to map a binary GSS attribute using the Shibboleth resolver. Support for binary attributes would be useful.

Add binary="true" to GSS attribute mappings and it will base64 encode the value.

To detect binary attributes, dynamic_cast to BinaryAttribute and you can access the raw value with the getValues() method. getSerializedValues will still return the base64-encoded values.
