Fix to_bjdata() emitting the Draft-3-only 'B' marker in default Draft-2 mode

_ArrayType_ = "byte" mapped unconditionally to the BJData type marker
'B', regardless of the requested bjdata_version. 'B' is defined only by
BJData Draft 3; with the default version (draft2), this produced a
stream that is invalid for Draft 2 and, unlike every other
_ArrayType_, round-tripped back as a binary value instead of the
original annotated object.

Only accept "byte" / emit 'B' when bjdata_version selects Draft 3.
Under Draft 2, fall back to the same plain-object encoding used
elsewhere in this function for other invalid-annotation cases, so the
value round-trips correctly.

Fixes #5404.
