#232: Implementation of ST_AsBinary for RASTER type

 Priority:  high         |   Milestone:         
Component:  wktraster    |     Version:  trunk  
 Keywords:  st_asbinary  |  
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 This is just a record of the plan I've made to start implementing
 ST_AsBinary function for [wiki:WKTRaster WKT Raster]. The function is
 listed in the [wiki:WKTRaster/PlanningAndFunding big plan].

 The first version of ST_AsBinary I'm going to implement will do nearly the
 same what ST_byte function does. It's prototype is:

 {{{
 bytea ST_AsBinary(raster r1);
 }}}

 At the moment, I don't aim to implement compression support, but later it
 can be extended to provide it:
 {{{
 bytea ST_AsBinary(raster r1, text compression);
 }}}
