Title: Integrate typedbytes into mrjob

Here is a patch to add support for typedbytes to mrjob.

To enable a class to use typedbytes instead of the textual interface, you just need to specify

class MyMRJob(MRJob):
STREAMING_INTERFACE = MRJob.STREAMING_INTERFACE_TYPED_BYTES

And then the interface to hadoop streaming will use typedbytes instead of line based formats.

This is compatible with dumbo, and adds typedbytes as a requirement to MRJob.
