Avoid Encoding::CompatibilityError when handling binary column #29

We started using strip_attributes in our project and found this runtime error when we try to strip a binary column. In PostgreSQL the type is called BYTEA.

Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible encoding regexp match (UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string)

Thank you for writing this gem!
