[issue12411] cgi.parse_multipart is broken on 3.x

[Jonas Wagner]

New submission from Jonas Wagner <veers at gmx.ch>:

While writing tests for the cgi module I came across what looks like a conversion bug.

cgi.parse_multipart is comparing values it reads from a binary file like with a string literal:
line = fp.readline()
...
if line.startswith("--"):

This patch adds fixes the issue and adds test for it.
