Summary: Fix for failing test_plistlib in py3k-struni

Initial Comment:
changes to plistlib.py:
- expat expects bytes so changed from using cStringIO to io.BytesIO
- renamed readPlistFromString, writePlistToString -> readPlistFromBytes, writePlistToBytes to reflect the change to BytesIO
- plistlib.Data now excepts and wraps a bytes object

changes to test_plistlib.py:
- transitioned To/FromString calls to To/FromBytes
- removed StringIO and cStringIO specific tests and replaced with an equivalent BytesIO test

test_plistlib.py now passes, tested on OSX Tiger 10.4.10.
