  Un-revert Work around Python/C JSON unicode differences

This fix was reverted because it depended on a small bit of code
in a patch that was reverted that changed some python/ovs testing
and build. The fix is still necessary.

The OVS C-based JSON parser operates on bytes, so the parser_feed
function returns the number of bytes that are processed. The pure
Python JSON parser currently operates on unicode, so it expects
that Parser.feed() returns a number of characters. This difference
leads to parsing errors when unicode characters are passed to the
C JSON parser from Python.
