6070	Add a function like chr that always returns a byte string	exarkun	meissenPlate	"Python 2 chr returns an instance of str (byte string).  Python 3 chr returns an instance of str (text string).  There's no obvious polyglot expression of the Python 2 version of the behavior, so we should have an API that takes care of the differences between Python 2 and Python 3 for this behavior.

At least `twisted.python.randbytes` and `twisted.names.dns` want to use this."	enhancement	new	normal	Python-3.x	core
