tests: change the fixer commands to use the buffer attribute on stdio objects

Otherwise `\r` was getting injected into the fixed lines and throwing off the
commit hashes on Windows when the fixer is invoked with py3.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
