Attempt to fix #11457
In python 3 the colors need to be strings and not bytes:
This was the equivalent of
>> print("%s" % b"1")
"b'1'"
since the colors were bytes the call to dvipng was something like
dvipng -Ttight -depth -height -D 115 -fg "b'rgb 0.937255 0.941176
0.945098'" -bg "b'rgb 0.137255 0.149020 0.160784'" "lyxpreviewxBJEqm.dvi"
Note the "b'rgb after both -fg and -bg that wrecked havoc and thus dvipng
failed. That was the difference between python2 and python3 calls.
