Translate CAST AS BINARY via COLLATE BINARY

Replace 'CAST(x AS BLOB)' with 'CAST(x AS TEXT) COLLATE BINARY' for
MySQL BINARY cast targets (both CAST(...) and CONVERT(...) forms). The
previous BLOB form caused TEXT-vs-BLOB equality to always return FALSE
due to SQLite's storage-class ordering.

Refs #31.
