Add set-binary-mode primitive to switch a standard stream to binary I/O.

 src/fileio.c: Include binary-io.h.
 (Fset_binary_mode): New function.
 (syms_of_fileio): Defsubr it.
 (syms_of_fileio) <Qstdin, Qstdout, Qstderr>: DEFSYM them.

 admin/unidata/unidata/uvs.el (uvs-print-table-ivd): Call set-binary-mode on
 stdout.

 doc/lispref/streams.texi (Input Functions): Document 'set-binary-mode'.
 (Output Functions): Cross-reference to documentation of
 'set-binary-mode'.

 etc/NEWS: Mention 'set-binary-mode'.

+STREAM can be one of the symbols `stdin', `stdout', or `stderr'.
+If MODE is non-nil, switch STREAM to binary mode, otherwise switch
+it to text mode.
+
+As a side effect, this function flushes any pending STREAM's data.
+
+Value is the previous value of STREAM's I/O mode, nil for text mode,
+non-nil for binary mode.
+
+On MS-Windows and MS-DOS, binary mode is needed to read or write
+arbitrary binary data, and for disabling translation between CR-LF
+pairs and a single newline character.  Examples include generation
+of text files with Unix-style end-of-line format using `princ' in
+batch mode, with standard output redirected to a file.
+
+On Posix systems, this function always returns non-nil, and has no
+effect except for flushing STREAM's data.  */)
