[issue21580] PhotoImage(data=...) apparently has to be UTF-8 or Base-64 encoded

[Martin v. Löwis]

The 3.4 patch looks fine, please apply.

I'm -1 on the 2.7 patch. I think it would be better to add a _tkinter helper function to create Tcl byte array objects. Alternatively, the "binary format" command might help. OTOH, I don't care about 2.7, so feel free to do whatever you consider appropriate.
