Title: Added the force_binary parameter to Connection.channel()

There seems to be no way to properly create a binary-only channel (which should have been the default to begin with!!!). My application was running into unicode errors with its binary protocol and I had to hack the channel (manually replace its frame dispatcher) to make it work correctly. This little patch adds the proper parameter to Connection.channel() and should not cause any backwards incompatibilities.
