foamDictionary works with binary files

Functionality to add/problem to solve

Currently foamDictionary does not work with binary files.

Target audience

Whoever is using binary file format and needs to work on fields, e.g. U. Currently I need to mantain the OpenFOAM org version to handle this in my workflow.

Proposal

I imagine it could be based on what has been done for OpenFOAM org: https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=3167.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Retrieve entry of field fiel in binary format.

Funding
