Subject: simple bind password (WG last call on the Java API)

The bind passwd is a String.  Besides the implied
UCS-2 -> UTF-8 conversion, I suspect there are
password values which cannot be represented as a
String.  I believe byte[] would be more appropriate
type as the associated protocol field is an
octetString (and common attributes for password
storage hold octetString values).
