Add getBinary method to StorageClient for IPFS content retrieval

- Implemented a new method `getBinary` to retrieve content from IPFS by CID, returning the full Response object.
- Added retry logic with exponential backoff for handling eventual consistency in IPFS Cluster, allowing up to 8 attempts for content retrieval.
- Enhanced documentation with usage examples and detailed parameter descriptions for better clarity.

* Retrieve content from IPFS by CID and return the full Response object
* Useful when you need access to response headers (e.g., content-length)
*
* @param cid - Content ID to retrieve
* @returns Response object with body stream and headers
*
* @example
* ```ts
* const response = await client.storage.getBinary(cid);
* const contentLength = response.headers.get('content-length');
* const reader = response.body.getReader();
* // ... read stream
* ```
