NIFI-15809 Record path toBytes returns an ARRAY[BYTE] type (#11121)

The toBytes function previously returned a FieldValue that inherited
the source field's DataType instead of ARRAY[BYTE]. This caused type
mismatches when the source field was a string.

> The {{toBytes()}} RecordPath function preserves the source field's data type (e.g., STRING) on the returned {{FieldValue}} instead of using ARRAY.
> When used with {{UpdateRecord}} to write the field, the destination field inherits the source's type, which is incorrect.
> The output fields should always be of a ARRAY type.
