Add Stats.Bytes()

[jdemeyer]

Given that Go uses []byte mostly to represent JSON data, it makes a lot of sense to add a Stats.Bytes() call returning a []byte instead of a string.

Perhaps it might even make sense to store the data as []byte internally in the Stats struct, but that's then an implementation detail which can be changed later.
