[Python-3000] PEP 3137 plan of attack

The PyBytes methods from PEP3137 have been implemented.  Review as desired.

If its good as is, let me know and I can check that in if you don't want to
yourself.

I believe there are some more opportunities for code sharing between
PyString and PyBytes both in methods already existing in stringobject and
bytesobject and in some of the Objects/stringlib/transmogrify.h code that
this patch adds.  I tried to share as much as possible to avoid both bloat
and most importantly multiple copies of the same algorithms.  That could be
considered additional cleanup or optimization.
