Pythons path functions - os.walk(). os.path.exists(). etc support bytes for paths as well as strings, support this with blender/rna too.

- bpy.data.*.load() functions were only accepting UTF-8 paths.
- rna functions/properties now accept byte values rather then strings for file paths.
- bpy.path.resolve_ncase now supports byte objects.
