Subject: [PATCH] Monkey-patch .decode() method to our strings as a temporary

 compat crutch

As a temporary crutch to support faster deployment of the sane

string behavior on python3, monkey-patch a decode method into all

strings we return. This seems to be enough to fix practically all

API users who have already adapted to the long-standing broken API

on Python 3. API users compatible with both Python 2 and 3 never needed

this anyway. Issue a warning with pointer to the relevant bug when the

fake decode() method is used to alert users to the issue.

This is certainly an evil thing to do and will be removed as soon as

the critical users have been fixed to work with the new, corrected

behavior.
