manifest: convert PyString* to PyBytes*

Python 2.6 introduced PyBytesObject and PyBytes* as aliases for
PyStringObject and PyString*. So on Python 2.6+, PyBytes* and PyString*
are identical and this patch should be a no-op.

On Python 3, PyStringObject is effectively renamed to PyUnicodeObject
and PyBytesObject becomes the main type for byte strings.

This patch begins the process of mass converting PyString* to PyBytes*
so the C extensions use the correct type on Python 3.
