    TOTP auth not functional in python3
    
    Fixing a byte>str conversion bug present in the TOTP
    passcode generation function that was only present in python3
    which rendered TOTP auth non-functional in python3.
    
    Also adding a test to check passcode generation returns the
    correct format.

Title:
  TOTP auth not functional in python3

Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Because of how python3 handles byte>str conversion, the passcode
  generation function produces a mangled result in python3. The reason
  the unit tests still pass in python3 is because the tests also use the
  same function and thus the server and the tests are both sending and
  expecting the same mangled passcode.

  This would then mean that anyone correctly generating the passcode and
  attempting to authenticate via TOTP would fail because the server is
  expecting a mangled passcode.

  The fix is to not use six.text_type, as it does the wrong thing, and
  instead use .decode('utf-8') which produces the correct result in both
  python2 and python3.

  Example of why and how this happens:
  Python2:

  >>> passcode = b'123456'
  >>> print passcode
  123456
  >>> type(passcode)
  <type 'str'>
  >>> import six
  >>> six.text_type(passcode)
  u'123456'
  >>> type(six.text_type(passcode))
  <type 'unicode'>
  >>> otherstring = "openstack"
  >>> otherstring + passcode
  'openstack123456'
  >>> passcode.decode('utf-8')
  u'123456'
  >>> type(passcode.decode('utf-8'))
  <type 'unicode'>

  Python3:

  >>> passcode = b'123456'
  >>> print(passcode)
  b'123456'
  >>> type(passcode)
  <class 'bytes'>
  >>> import six
  >>> six.text_type(passcode)
  "b'123456'"
  >>> type(six.text_type(passcode))
  <class 'str'>
  >>> otherstring = "openstack"
  >>> otherstring + passcode
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly
  >>> otherstring + str(passcode)
  "openstackb'123456'"
  >>> passcode.decode('utf-8')
  '123456'
  >>> type(passcode.decode('utf-8'))
  <class 'str'>
