[issue13297] xmlrpc.client could accept bytes for input and output

[Florent Xicluna]

Florent Xicluna <florent.xicluna at gmail.com> added the comment:

Maybe a flag "use_builtin_types" is preferred?
It should implies both `bytes` and `datetime.datetime` are used for presenting data received.

I don't see a use case where we would like to have `bytes` for binary data but keep `xmlrpc.client.DateTime` for date objects.

Becomes obsolete, if this change is done:
 - xmlrpc.client.Binary
 - xmlrpc.client.DateTime
 - use_datetime flag of `ServerProxy` class and `loads` function

I'm not sure it's necessary to deprecate things here.
