[issue15588] quopri: encodestring and decodestring handle bytes, not strings

[Petri Lehtinen]

Petri Lehtinen added the comment:

The encode() and decode() functions also expect binary file objects.

Attached a patch that changes documentation and docstrings. Removed the mentions of readline(), because read() is called on input instead, if the binascii module is available. Also removed the repeated descriptions of quotetabs and header in encodestring()'s docs.
