IReactorTCP.connectTCP incorrectly documents its 'host' parameter's type

Description

IReactorTCP.connectTCP claims that its host parameter should be a bytes.

However, this is inconsistent with usage elsewhere in Twisted, and furthermore the implementation in PosixReactorBase assumes otherwise. (It will *work* with bytes, but other documentation suggests it expects a str.)

Verdict from the mailing list: this should be treated as a simple bug in the interface definition, and fixed.

Any IReactorTCP implementation that strictly implemented the interface-as-written by _only_ accepting bytes wouldn't work, so there isn't any compatibility hazard.
