[issue6784] bytw/unicode string incompatibilities between python2 and and python3

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

New submission from RonnyPfannschmidt <Ronny.Pfannschmidt at gmx.de>:

i just noticed that there are some slight differences of the
bytestring/unicodestring pickles between python2/3 using the protocols
0, 1 and 2

the first things i noticed are:

a str from python2 is unpickled as unicode in python3
(fails for byte strings that don't fit whats expected for unicode)


a bytes instance from python3 is pickled as custom class in protocols <3

i'll write a script to try all combinations of protocols and string
variations and transfer directions
