[codec] Rename Binary to BinaryCodec?

Hello,

I am not fond of the class name "Binary" as it sounds too much like a
data-type and not a codec. I would like to rename the class to
BinaryCodec. Since this is a new class since 1.2, there are no
compatibility issues.

Opinions?

Gary

I thought the name confusing but never found a better alternative.  Labeling
it with the Codec suffix gives it more meaning.
