Subject: [Patch] BaseTools/BinToPcd: Encode string returned from ByteArray()

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1069

The ByteArray() method returns a string with the hex bytes of a PCD value.  Make sure the string is always encoded as a string, so it can be used to build a complete PCD statement string and be written out to a file.  This change is required for Python 3.x compatibility.
