Description
With RDS, there are various use cases to have columns with bytes (e.g. bytea type on postgresql) for images etc.
Though RDS Data API [supports](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rdsdataservice/latest/APIReference/API_Field.html) 'blobValue' it is not possible with @aws-appsync/utils/rds as the 'typeHint' helper does not support it.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the @aws-appsync/utils/rds typeHint helper and the AWS RDS Data API Field documentation linked in the issue, focusing on blobValue. Done means the helper supports typeHint.BLOB for byte-valued columns such as PostgreSQL bytea.
