1.24 2020-06-22

    - reimplemented str_hex/unhex to use unpack/pack (of course!)
         thanks to String::HexConvert for reminding me that pack 
         is always here :)

    - added separate binary and text file load/save api. 
    
      new functions:
      
          # always binary data load
          file_bin_load( $file_name )

          # always binary data save
          file_bin_save( $file_name, @data, $data, 'data', 123 )
          
      new functions:
          
          # always text data load
          file_text_load( $file_name )

          # always text data load, returns array ref of read data
          file_text_load( $file_name )

          # always text data save
          file_text_save( $file_name, @data, $data, 'data', 123 )
          
      the old encoding defaults to file load/save:
      
          data_tools_set_file_io_encoding( 'cp1251' );
          data_tools_set_file_io_encoding( 'UTF-8'  );
          data_tools_set_file_io_utf8();
          
       still works but will only relate to file_text_* functions.
       
       NOTE: WARNING!
       currently old file_load()/file_save() will default to the old
       behaviour but will be switched to binary only!
       
       NOTE: WARNING!
       file_text_* api will have second optional hashref with operation
       options. for saving, it is uncommon to provide hashref so it will
       be used as options if given.
