[New-bugs-announce] [issue28510] PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetObject always return bytes

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Since PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetObject() always returns bytes object, following PyBytes_AsString() never fails and can be replaced with the PyBytes_AS_STRING() macro. This makes error handlers looking a littler clearer and a little faster.

The patch is inspired by the patch of Xiang Zhang (issue28504).
