[#761,!447] Binary option data parser now accepts strings

src/lib/dhcpsrv/parsers/option_data_parser.cc
    OptionDataParser::createOption() - added logic to support
    parsing "'text'" into binary option data

src/lib/dhcpsrv/tests/dhcp_parsers_unittest.cc
    TEST_F(ParseConfigTest, stringOrHexBinaryData) - new unit test
