patman: Handle unicode in _ProjectConfigParser tests

With Python 2.7.15rc1, ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser has unfortunately
started returning unicode, for unknown reasons. Adjust the code to handle
this by converting everything to unicode. We cannot convert things to
ASCII since email addresses may be encoded with UTF-8.
