Crypto nonce must be bytes instead of string for python3

File "stem/stem/descriptor/hidden_service_descriptor.py", line 329, in _decrypt_basic_auth
    cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(authentication_cookie), modes.CTR('\x00' * len(iv)), default_backend())

TypeError: nonce must be bytescipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(authentication_cookie), modes.CTR('\x00' * len(iv)), default_backend())

  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/primitives/ciphers/modes.py", line 139, in !__init!__
    raise !TypeError("nonce must be bytes")

TypeError: nonce must be bytes

The above error shows up in python3. Most likely it is due to the recent migration from pycrypto to cryptography.

Hi feignix, very sorry about the long delay! Been busy focusing on a big branch the last several weeks. That said, I really hate dropping the ball on a pull request like this - sorry about that. :(

This was fixed within the ed25519 certificate branch I merged yesterday. Thanks for the catch!
