[3.8] bpo-29566: binhex.binhex now consitently writes MacOS 9 line endings. (GH-23059) (GH-23070)

[[bpo-29566]()]() notes that binhex.binhex uses inconsistent line endings (both Unix and MacOS9 line endings are used). This PR changes this to use the MacOS9 line endings everywhere.
(cherry picked from commit 2165cea548)
