[midPoint] Convert string to binary data in 3.5.1 - outbound mapping

[Attila Szlovak]

Pavol,

this error is related to workflow when also .getBytes() method is used
in attribute mapping - if the workflow is disabled then it works ok.

I found a commit  ('Fixed "No Java package for class [B" exception.' 
https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/commit/9a892a6a312b3b2c031a9721e096110cd2385773)
- it is applied in branch with tag v3.C (I hope that it is not only a
joke :) because it is also in master branch).

If I apply this commit to v3.5.1 (and recompile the war) then the error
disappears. I'm testing the recompiled version and it seems ok.

Is there a reason why this commit was not added to 3.5.1 or is it safe
to use it with 3.5.1?

S pozdravom/Best regards/Üdvözlettel,

Attila Szlovák
