This patch fixes two issues:
1) Popen needs to be used with universal_newlines=True by default.
This elicits automatic decoding from bytes -> string in Py3,
and has no negative effects in other Py versions.
2) The swig typemaps for converting between string and (char*, int)
did not work correctly when the length of the string was 0,
indicating an error. In this case we would try to construct a
string from uninitialized data.
3) Ironically, the bug mentioned in #2 led to a test passing on
Windows that was actually broken, because the test was written
such that the assertion was never even getting checked, so it
passed by default. So we additionally fix this test to also
fail if the method errors. By fixing this test it's now broken
on Windows, so we also xfail it.

For convenience, we had added the folder that dotest.py was in
to sys.path, so that we could easily write things like
`import lldbutil` from anywhere and any test. This introduces
a subtle problem when using Python's package system, because when
unittest2 imports a particular test suite, the test suite is detached
from the package. Thus, writing "import lldbutil" from dotest imports
it as part of the package, and writing the same line from a test
does a fresh import since the importing module was not part of
the same package.
The real way to fix this is to use absolute imports everywhere. Instead
of writing "import lldbutil", we need to write "import
lldbsuite.test.util". This patch fixes up that and all other similar
cases, and additionally removes the script directory from sys.path
to ensure that this can't happen again.

This is the conclusion of an effort to get LLDB's Python code
structured into a bona-fide Python package. This has a number
of benefits, but most notably the ability to more easily share
Python code between different but related pieces of LLDB's Python
infrastructure (for example, `scripts` can now share code with
`test`).
