The commit 3b4b03e introduces a conversion to bytearray in
TBinaryProtocol.writeString():
```python
# after commit 3b4b03e and 3d912d7
def writeString(self, str):
encoded = bytearray(str, 'utf-8')
self.writeI32(len(encoded))
self.trans.write(encoded)
# before
def writeString(self, str):
self.writeI32(len(str))
self.trans.write(str)
```
This causes problems for people trying to write byte strings. See for
example here: https://github.com/wbolster/happybase/issues/40
