[issue10284] NNTP should accept bytestrings for username and password

[Julien ÉLIE]

OK, I understand.  I believe it works fine in practice, because people often use ASCII-only characters...  I assume it is going to be a problem when the passwords contain 8-bit characters.
I doubt it will work fine if I use different news readers on different localized systems...

Interesting question.  I will ask how it should be handled.
