[issue4387] binascii b2a functions accept strings (unicode) as data

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Here is a patches that fixes the problem.

Notice that this affects the email API; base64mime.body_encode now also
requires bytes (whereas quoprimime remains unchanged).

There are probably more functions that still incorrectly accept strings,
e.g. zlib.crc32.
