Title:
  Doesn't configure landscape client on py3

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Attempting to configure landscape-client on a py3 system falls over
  due to string/byte-string conversion issues

  Here's a sample run from MAAS:

  2017-08-15 17:58:11,883 - util.py[DEBUG]: Running module landscape (<module 'cloudinit.config.cc_landscape' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_landscape.py'>) failed

  Ryan validated py3 falling over just on basic ConfigObj.write() attempts:
