    Changes fake.py stream type to 'bytes'.
    
    Given that the data returned bye fake.py may include binary data,
    'bytes' is a more appropriate type.  Unlike the client API, where it's
    easy to provide both return types, it would be less convenient to do
    that here, so 'bytes' is preferred as the one choice (and is
    consistent with network sockets).
    
    When sending such data to stdout (or stderr), the straightforward
    method is to write to sys.stdXXX.buffer rather than sys.stdXXX.  That
    doesn't exist in Python 2, but a helper function is now provided to
    get the appropriate 'bytes' stream for stdXXX.
    
    Since no previous *release* of GPSD is compatible with Python 3,
    changing this now doesn't break anything based on released code.
    
    TESTED:
    Ran "scons check" on OSX with all supported Python versions.

commit 04ac607bcf742785f08feef5e3f8ce4a85858a05

    Adds bytes-typed alternative response to Python client.
    
    In Python 2, 'bytes' and 'str' are synonyms, but in Python 3 they are
    not.  Since the client may return binary data in some cases, 'bytes'
    is a more appropriate data type.  Rather than requiring double
    conversions in this case (the socket returns 'bytes'), this adds an
    alternative response item which is typed as 'bytes'.
    
    Although the accessor method 'data()' has always existed, it's
    shadowed by a name collision in some cases, resulting in the
    requirement that the caller access the 'response' item directly (as
    noted in the documentation).  Thus, it's not possible to avoid the
    conversion to 'str' in the cases where it isn't actually used.
    
    This change doesn't bother to add an accessor method for 'bresponse',
    for consistency with the way the API is normally used, though that
    should be fixed if this aspect of the API is ever cleaned up.
    
    TESTED:
    Ran "scons check" on OSX with all supported versions of Python.
