tests: make Python-based servers compatible with Python 2 and 3
Update smbserver.py and negtelnetserver.py to be compatible with Python 3 while staying backwards-compatible to support Python 2. Fix string encoding and handling of echoed and transferred data. Tested with both Python 2.7.17 and Python 3.7.7 Reported-by: Daniel Stenberg Assisted-by: Kamil Dudka Reviewed-by: Marcel Raad Fixes #5104 Closes #5110

+ 1.1.1 Installation of python-impacket
+
+ The Python-based test servers support both recent Python 2 and 3.
+ You can figure out your default Python interpreter with python -V
+
Please install python-impacket in the correct Python environment.
- At the moment the Python-based test servers still require Python 2.
- Therefore you will need to use pip2 or your OS' package manager to
- install the Python 2 version of impacket (if it is still available).
+ You can use pip or your OS' package manager to install 'impacket'.
+
+ On Debian/Ubuntu the package names are:
+ Python 2: 'python-impacket'
+ Python 3: 'python3-impacket'
+
+ On FreeBSD the package names are:
+ Python 2: 'py27-impacket'
+ Python 3: 'py37-impacket'
+
+ On any system where pip is available:
+ Python 2: 'pip2 install impacket'
+ Python 3: 'pip3 install impacket'
- On stable Debian/Ubuntu the package name is "python-impacket".
- On FreeBSD the package name is "py27-impacket".
+ You may also need to manually install the Python package 'six'
+ as that may be a missing requirement for impacket on Python 3.
