    If extension metadata contained any Unicode characters, we'd fail to
    parse the metadata, hitting Unicode decoding errors. This was due to the
    treatment of metadata as Unicode strings, but pkg_resources actually
    returns these as bytestrings on both Python 2.x and 3.x.

    We now process as bytestrings, and the tests have been updated to
    represent metadata as bytestrings as well.

    Unit tests pass.

    Successfully ran Review Board with an extension containing Unicode
    characters in the description.
