Move Binary value handling from Field to BinaryField
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3499
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3499
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Chris Male


Current Field supports Reader, String and binary values.  With work on removing IndexDocValuesField, it became apparent it'd be a lot cleaner if the support for binary values was moved to BinaryField (like how NumericField supports Numbers).  This would leave Field as supporting the most common usecases (Reader and String values) as well as serving as a base class for the other *Field implementations in document.*.
