Binary file issues - Axios passthrough options not documented

Related to #1

We ran into an issue where binary downloads were not working.
This can be addressed by adding the responseType attribute as an 'arraybuffer'.
There is no documentation on passing through options to the axios library used

e.g. this is the correct way to download binary files.

b2.downloadFileById({
    fileId: fileId,
    responseType: 'arraybuffer'

Yes, we ran in a lot of oval shapes while trying to figure this out! Glad it helped.

Looks like the readme covers this now, so I'll close the issue. 👍
