errstr() -> string

Return the internal libcurl error buffer of this handle as a string.

Return value is a ``str`` instance on all Python versions.
On Python 3, error buffer data is decoded using Python's default encoding
at the time of the call. If this decoding fails, ``UnicodeDecodeError`` is
raised. Use :ref:`errstr_raw <errstr_raw>` to retrieve the error buffer
as a byte string in this case.

On Python 2, ``errstr`` and ``errstr_raw`` behave identically.
