[issue17683] socket.getsockname() inconsistent return type with AF_UNIX

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali added the comment:

Hum, IIUC, basically what happens is that the user could - and still
can - pass arbitrary bytes as address (which is legtit), but depending
on the encoding, getsockaddr() and friends might blow up when decoding
it.
If that's correct, that's bad, and that would be a good reason to keep bytes.
