  #4871: check that zipfile password is bytes, and give useful error message.
  
  Previously passing a string in as the password would fail either with
  an assertion error or a TypeError with a confusing error message.
  Note that a string can't be accepted since zipfile has no way to
  guess what encoding should be used to turn it into bytes.
  
  Patch by Victor Stinner.
