    PY3: switch to using unicode text values
    
    In Python 3, python-ldap no longer allows bytes for some fields (DNs,
    RDNs, attribute names, queries). Instead, text values are represented
    as str, the Unicode text type. Compatibility support is provided for
    Python 2 by setting bytes_mode=False [1].
    
    Update the keystone LDAP backend to adhere to this behavior by using
    bytes_mode=False for Python 2 and dropping UTF-8 encoding and decoding
    fields that are now represented as text in python-ldap.
    
    [1] More details about byte/str usage in python-ldap can be found at:
    http://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/bytes_mode.html#bytes-mode
    
    Note that at a minimum python-ldappool 2.3.1 is required. For more
    details see Depends-On's below.

Title:
  PY3: python3-ldap does not allow bytes for DN/RDN/field names

Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone):
  Fix Released
Status in ldappool:
  New

Bug description:
  Under Python 2, python-ldap uses bytes by default. Under Python 3 this
  is removed and bytes aren't allowed for DN/RDN/field names.

  More details are here: http://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/bytes_mode.html#bytes-mode
  and here: https://github.com/python-ldap/python-ldap/blob/python-ldap-3.1.0/Lib/ldap/ldapobject.py#L111

  == initial traceback ==

  Here's the initial traceback from the failure:
  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/67THZb2m5m/

  The last bit of the error is:

    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 314, in _ldap_call
      result = func(*args,**kwargs)
  TypeError: simple_bind() argument 1 must be str or None, not bytes

  A closer look at func shows:

  func=<built-in method simple_bind of LDAP object at 0x7f9d0177b760>
  args=(b'cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com', b'crapper', None, None)

  == keystone ldap backend use of python-ldap ==

  In simple_bind_s() of keystone's ldap backend, who and cred are
  encoded as byte strings:

  https://github.com/openstack/keystone/blob/14.0.0/keystone/identity/backends/ldap/common.py#L885

  but that appears to no longer be valid use of python-ldap for py3.
