MSBinary in mssql should be BINARY not IMAGE

Issue #1249 resolved
Michael Trier created an issue

MSBinary is currently returning IMAGE. We really need to have MSBinary return BINARY, MSVarBinary return VARBINARY, and MSImage return IMAGE. This would be a breaking change since IMAGE is a deprecated version of MSVarBinary(max).

    Note that I believe that pymssql may not understand VARBINARY, so the ideal would be to have this behavior switchable, or Dialect-specific.

    I'm not seeing any docs or webpages with regard to lack of VARBINARY support on pymssql. Would you be willing to try the attached patch and let me know.
