Creates a new binary data object.

<p class="para">
There are seven types of binary data currently recognized by the BSON spec,
which are defined as
<a href="class.mongobindata.html#mongobindata.constants.types" class="link">class constants</a>. For
backwards compatibility, the PHP driver uses
<strong><code>MongoBinData::BYTE_ARRAY</code></strong> as the default; however, this
may change to <strong><code>MongoBinData::GENERIC</code></strong> in the future.
Users are encouraged to specify a type instead of relying on the default.
