Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

A follow up for #45595

As discussed in #43135, `arrow_binary` class object needs to be deprecated in favor of `blob::blob`.
In the first step, `arrow_binary` objects now inherits `blob::blob` from #45595.
But `arrow_binary` class continues to be used to convert Arrow data to R.

`arrow_binary` class is completely unnecessary from any perspective other than compatibility, so it can be removed and the pure `blob::blob` class can be used.
