THRIFT-3500: Strings unicode py2
As the test shows this makes Thrift protocols treat Strings as unicode in
Python 2 which is essentially equivalent as the str in Python 3. Indeed Python
3.5 now treats u"hello" as a str literal, just as Python 2 treats it as a
unicode literal.
The python 2 standard lib contains the json package, that, when loading
JSON, deserializes strings into unicode objects, where the TJSONProtocol
deserializes them into utf-8 encoded bytes without this change.

Make a String type come from a JSON String.
JSON String is equivalent to unicode in Py2
and str Py3
Expect the type being transformed into JSON String
is either ASCII str or unicode in Py2 and
str in Py3.

This makes them concept equivalent across Py2/Py3
