[issue4997] xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator should write to io.RawIOBase.

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

You shouldn't remove the defaulting behaviour for `out`, but use
`sys.stdout.buffer` instead.

Bonus points if you add a test so that this kind of bug doesn't go
unnoticed again.

PS: it's ironic that the default encoding here is iso-8859-1. This piece
of code is really getting old.
