[PATCH 4/4] buildman: Use bytes for the environment

[Simon Glass]

At present we sometimes see problems in gitlab where the environment has
0x80 characters or sequences which are not valid UTF-8.

Avoid this by using bytes for the environment, both internal to buildman
and when writing out the 'env' file. Add a test to make sure this works
as expected.
