Description:
since mysql-connector-python 8.0.11 (up to 8.0.17), when fetching result from a prepared  cursor, no matter use_pure or not, it may fail if the varbinary column contains bytes cannot be decoded.

It's not the same bug with https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=94944

How to repeat:
1. create a table with varbinary column:
create table test_binary(bstr varbinary(200));

2. run following python script:

import logging
import mysql.connector

connect_param = {
	"host": "127.0.0.1",
	"port": 3306,
	"user": "root",
	"password": "",
	"database": "test",
}

conn = None

try:
	use_pure = True
	conn = mysql.connector.connect(**connect_param, use_pure=use_pure)

	params = list()
	params.append(
		b'\x0A\x17\x0A\x0B\x31\x37\x30\x30\x3A\x63\x66\x31\x64\x3A\x3A\x10\x9D\x9E\x03\x18\xDB\xEC\xD4\xE9\x05')

	conn.start_transaction()

	cursor = conn.cursor(prepared=True)

	sql = "insert into test_binary values(%s)"
	cursor.execute(sql, params)

	sql = "select * from test_binary"
	cursor.execute(sql)

	results = cursor.fetchall()
	for row in results:
		print(row[0])

	sql = "delete from test_binary"
	cursor.execute(sql)

	conn.commit()

except Exception as err:
	logging.error(err)

finally:
	if conn:
		conn.disconnect()

Suggested fix:
this bug is imported since mysql-connector-python 8.0.11, it is ok for connector 8.0.6.

in _parse_binary_values(), https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python/blob/master/lib/mysql/connector/protocol.p..., it try decode a bytearry, which may fail.
