[issue26707] plistlib fails to parse bplist with 0x80 UID values

I recently upgraded my python version and my hot-patch broke due to changes in bpo-32072 (GH-4455).

It reminded me of this b.p.o., and after reading through the messages to remind myself where the patch stood I realized that my tone friendly towards the end was not overly.

@ronaldoussoren, I apologize if I offended.

In other news, I re-implemented the patch (and filed a new pull-request) due to the following:

* Things got spread out over too many commits
* NSKeyedArchiver only uses binary mode, so I removed the XML compatibility
* I also wrote a few tests to verify the UID implementation
