Instead of using encode/decode is it better to use str2bytes and
bytes2str, so that the types in Python 2 are unchanged. More important,
this prevents the double encoding of bytes, which causes problems
when they have non-ASCII data encoded.

Errors were being raised for returning `None` in Python 2
(due to a missing else branch) and for re-encoding bytes
in Python 2.

I changed the code to use str2bytes in the cases where bytes
are expected.

with ROUND_DOWN, we have a different behaviour between py2/py3, that caused failures in
erp5_simplified_invoicing:testTradeModelLine.

Here is what happened in _round(1.9999999999999998) in
bt5/erp5_simulation/DocumentTemplateItem/portal_components/document.erp5.FloatEquivalenceTester.py

* py2
decimal.Decimal(str(1.9999999999999998)).quantize(decimal.Decimal('0.000001'), 'ROUND_DOWN')
=> Decimal('2.000000')
(because str(1.9999999999999998) is '2.0')

* py3
decimal.Decimal(str(1.9999999999999998)).quantize(decimal.Decimal('0.000001'), 'ROUND_DOWN')
=> Decimal('1.999999')
(because str(1.9999999999999998) is '1.9999999999999998')

But ROUND_DOWN result of 1.9999999999999998 with 0.000001 precision should be 1.999999 thus py2 behaviour is wrong.

On python2, attributes of new style classes (classes, not instances)
were not properly validated. On python3, attributes of classes were not.

In current versions, sorted is allowed in RestrictedPython.

Also, our implementation of sorted was not correct with generators,
it consumed the generator by iterating on it a first time to check the
values.
