perf script python: Use PyBytes for attr in trace-event-python

With Python3.  PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize is unsafe to call on attr and will
return NULL.  Use _PyBytes_FromStringAndSize (as with raw_buf).

Below is the observed behavior without the fix.  Note it is first necessary
to apply the prior fix (Add trace_context extension module to sys,modules):

  # ldd /usr/bin/perf | grep -i python
          libpython3.6m.so.1.0 => /usr/lib64/libpython3.6m.so.1.0 (0x00007f8e1dfb2000)

  # perf record -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter /bin/false
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (21 samples) ]

  # perf script -g python | cat
  generated Python script: perf-script.py

  # perf script -s ./perf-script.py
  in trace_begin
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
