Changes in ProtoBuf.js 3.8

It has been requested to change the default representation of binary data when assigning strings to bytes fields respectively converting messages to raw JSON structures.

As of version 3.8.0, ProtoBuf.js uses base64 encoding by default:

• Instead of returning buffers, Message#toRaw([includeBinaryAsBase64=false]) now returns base64 encoded strings for binary data when includeBinaryAsBase64 is set to true (was: includeBuffers).

• String assignments to bytes fields by default parse the string as base64.
