py3: use a BytesParser in notify extension

This is the first step to make the "long line" case in test-notify.t
pass by fixing a UnicodeDecodeError on Python 3.

We alias a parsebytes() in mail module, similarly as we already have a
parse() function for Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility.

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.
