PR body: """ ldif.LDIFRecordList handles all attribute names as utf-8 strings and all attribute values as bytes. If we take the attribute value and try to search for it in the entry (= dictionary), if it contains the attribute name as a key (which is a string), their hashes match. However, even if hashes match, Python needs to make sure those two are the same in case of a hash collision, so it tries to compare them. This causes BytesWarning exception when running in strict mode because `bytes` and `str` instances cannot be compared. KeyError would be thrown in a non-strict mode.

Also, when later passing the attr to replace_value(), we need for it to be `str` otherwise the modifications handler fails because it tries to sort the attributes it's modifying but that's a bit less poetic issue than the first one.
