And another pair of forgotten tasks:

- change PyBytes so that its str() is the same as its repr().
- change PyString so that its str() is the same as its repr().

The former seems easy. The latter might cause trouble (though then
again, it may not).

I should also note that I already submitted the changes to remove
locale support from PyString, and am working on removing its encode()
method. This is not going so smoothly.
