Add the datatype raw and raw@store to allow storage of binary data directly in blobs or in external stores without blob serialization / compression. The only permissible values are byte strings.

[dimitri-yatsenko]

Raw means different things to different people, while binary is specific to SQL and has its own connotations. Let's call it bytes similar to the byte string data type in Python. It may also be used as bytes@store similar to blobs, attachments, and filepaths.
