Replace "Unicode string" with "string" and the unicode() built-in with str() in docstrings, comments and documentation of the email package.

"byte string" is only replaced with "bytes" where other bytes-like objects are not accepted: Header(), Header.append() and BytesParser.parsebytes() accept a bytearray as well.

Replace "Unicode string" with "string" and the unicode() built-in with
str() in docstrings, comments and documentation of the email package.
"byte string" is only replaced with "bytes" where other bytes-like
objects are not accepted.
