Title: Avoid call to rb_string_value_cstr() which doesn't handle binary strings properly

I believe this is all that's necessary to resolve #32

I've done some manual testing to validate that we're sending the right bytes through Kafka, in the integration test I printed out the md5 of the byte string going in, and then printed the md5 of the buffer that a Kafka consumer (using the Java Kafka library) reads off:

**producer side**
```
Hermann::Lib::Producer
#push_single
with binary data
hash: a3e3316785491f09d90fd57b2d412437
should return
```

**consumer side**
```
