Add an initialization check to mimic the interface of _pickle.

The approach used is similiar to what is currently used in the version
of unicodeobject.c in Python 2.x. The only difference is we use
_PyBytes_Resize instead of _PyString_Resize.

Fix wrong bytes type conversion in PyUnicode_AsUnicodeDecodeString.
