Resolve Python2/Python3 unicode issues by using str()

- Remove ascii encoding assumption from spack_yaml
- proc.communicate() returns bytes; convert to str before adding.
- Fix various byte string/unicode issues for Python 2/3 support
- Need to decode subprocess output as utf-8 in from_sourcing_files.
- Fix comments in strify()
