[issue1365] bytes(<int>) constructor

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

Hey Guido!

During my testing and local modifications of the PEP 3137 branch I found
a bunch of unit tests that were choking on bytes(1) where bytes is PyString.

The PEP doesn't list bytes(<int>) as a valid constructor, only
buffer(<int>). I don't see a reason why bytes() shouldn't accept an int
when b'1' still creates a byte sequence with 3 elements. Here is a patch
