Subject: [Patch] BaseTools/BinToPcd: Open output file as text file

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

Undo changes from following commit:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/83964ebc5e74549d6efc7134af19150a0b2079aa

Change the open mode for the output file from 'wb' to 'w' so the output file is written as a text file and not a binary file.

This resolves the issue where the text file was not writable from Python 3.x and also removes b'' from output file when the string was encoded as a bytearray.
