re2: feed unicode string to re2 module when necessary

My previous test were using the `pyre2` Python project, that wrap the Google RE2 library
in python as a `re2` module and accept bytes as input. However the `fb-re2`
Python project is also offering a wrapping of the Google RE2 library in python
as a `re2` module ans accept only unicode on python3. So we detect this
situation and convert thing to unicode when necessary.

Hooray…

We should consider using a rust wrapping for regexp handling. We needs regexps
in Rust anyway and this give use more control with less variants and more
sanity.
