It is the right thing to do since we have no idea what encoding the file
is in, or even if the file is text data. BufferedFile.readline() is
unchanged and returns text strings assuming the file is utf-8 encoded.
This should fix the following issue:

Create constants for byte messages, implement asbytes so many methods can take Message and key objects directly and split get_string into get_text and get_binary. Also, change int handling to use mpint with a flag whenever the int is greater than 32 bits.
in the test that verifies key renegotiation during a large file "put", also
do a "get" of the large file (with prefetch) to verify that nothing screwy
happens.
allow prefetch + readv to occur at the same time (even though it will be really inefficient). instead of a moving pointer, use the prefetched buffers as an indication of what we've downloaded so far. break up large readv requests into the max packet size. add 2 more unit tests to test this stuff.
