a92939a4aa patman: Provide a way to get program output in binary mode
At present cros_subprocess and the tools library use a string to obtain
stdout from a program. This works fine on Python 2. With Python 3 we end
up with unicode errors in some cases. Fix this by providing a binary mode,
which returns the data as bytes() instead of a string.

b1793a531e patman: Update cros_subprocess to use bytes
At present this function uses lists and strings. This does not work so
well with Python 3, and testing against '' does not work for a bytearray.
Update the code to fix these issues.

5c724dc440 patman: Don't convert input data to unicode
The communication filter reads data in blocks and converts each block to
unicode (if necessary) one at a time. In the unlikely event that a unicode
character in the input spans a block this will not work. We get an error
like:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1022-1023:
   unexpected end of data

There is no need to change the input to unicode, so the easiest fix is to
drop this feature.

6db06f94e1 patman: Convert byte arrays to strings
os.read() returns a byte array in Python 3.5.2 and needs to be converted
into a string. Check if the returned value is an instance of bytes and
if it is decode it as a utf-8 string. If it is not a utf-8 encoded string
the decoding may fail with an exception.

Prior to this fix the comparisions check data == "" would fail when data
was b'' and would cause an infinite memory leaking loop. joins would
also fail with an exception below but due to the infinite loop it never
made it that far.

ac3fde9394 patman: Make exception handling python 3.x safe
Syntax for exception handling is a little more strict in python 3.x.
Convert all uses to a form accepted by both python 2.x & python 3.x.

71162e3cae patman: Add cros_subprocess library to manage subprocesses
This adds a new library on top of subprocess which permits access to
the subprocess output as it is being generated. We can therefore
give the illusion that a process is running independently, but still
monitor its output so that we know what is going on.

It is possible to display output on a terminal as it is generated
(a little like tee). The supplied output function is called with all
stdout/stderr data as it arrives.
