[issue40960] Fix the example in hashlib documentarion

Hi Marcelo,

Thanks for the report.  The version of the documentation that you linked to is 
for Python 2.  At the top of that page, there is a redirect to the Python 3 
documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/hashlib.html.  You'll see 
that the Python 3 documentation does use bytes for that example.

[issue40960] Fix the example in hashlib documentarion

[Marcelo]

New submission from Marcelo :

The documentation found in https://docs.python.org/2/library/hashlib.html

give us the following example:

```
More condensed:

>>> hashlib.sha224("Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").hexdigest()
'a4337bc45a8fc544c03f52dc550cd6e1e87021bc896588bd79e901e2'
```

Although, we get the error if not encode the string:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
```

So the example should be (string to bytes):
`hashlib.sha224(b"Nobody inspects the spammish repetition").hexdigest()`
