Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The cuDF ORC writer does not follow the `set_output_as_binary` option added for Parquet to write a string column with binary type.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
To respect the `set_output_as_binary` option added in #6816 for the ORC writer as well.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
We could copy the table to host and use the Arrow ORC writer or similar instead, but this would mean more copying.
**Additional context**
