Robert Collins 652c95d267 Handle objects with broken __unicode__
Because Python 2 objects may have __unicode__ broken, and we need
unicode output to avoid implicit decodes, explicitly handle
__unicode__.

A backport of traceback to older supported Pythons.
>>> import traceback2 as traceback
Profit.
Things to be aware of!
In Python 2.x, unlike traceback, traceback2 creates unicode output (because it
depends on the linecache2 module).
Exception frame clearing silently does nothing if the interpreter in use does
not support it.
traceback2._some_str, which while not an official API is so old its likely in
use behaves similarly to the Python3 version - objects where unicode(obj) fails
but str(object) works will be shown as b'thestrvaluerepr'.
