doc: binary encoding is not deprecated

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/trevnorris/binary-not-deprecated into master

When v8 implemented proper one-byte string support Node's internal "binary" encoding implementation was removed in favor of it. The result was that "binary" encoding effectively became "latin-1" encoding. Because of this and because one-byte strings are natively supported by v8 the buffer encoding is not deprecated and will not be removed.
