Update BINARY encoded IPMI FRU area data to FRU Inventory

IPMI fru record format can contain BINARY and ASCII encodings.
There was an error in the way FRU parser was handling the BINARY
encoded data and that resulted in incorrect updates to FRU Inventory object.

The reason why it was done like that was to workaround a limitation
encountered while creating the dictionary having a name and value pair
where value is an array of bytes.

This proposed fix will convert the array of binary encoded data into ascii
string and updates the FRU inventory as a string. Since string is a single
element, it fits in within the limits of dictionary.

Fixes openbmc/ipmi-fru-parser#3
