MIMEApplication() requires a bytes object for its _data, so fix the tests.
We no longer need utils._identity() or utils._bdecode(). The former isn't
used anywhere AFAICT (where's "make test's" lint? <wink>) and the latter is a
kludge that is eliminated by base64.b64encode().
Current status: 5F/5E
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
