py3: Add helper functions to write code for both python2 and python3.

* Add functions to properly convert/handle bytes/str/unicode (from
  slapos.util) (stricter than six.ensure_{text,str}()).
* Python3 {keys,values,items}() now returns dict_{keys,values,items} rather than
  real list() so add ensure_list() to create a list() when it is latter modified
  but do nothing on Python2 for performance sake.
