Fix str/bytes and leftover-py2 defects across the plugin, several on live
decryption paths:
- erdr2pml.py: getText() footnote/sidebar handling mixed a bytes
accumulator with str literals and called ord() on a bytes element,
crashing on eReader/.pdb books that contain footnotes or sidebars.
- ion.py: readdecimal() did `[ord(x) for x in self.read(...)]` over
bytes (ord(int)), crashing KFX decryption on Ion DECIMAL values;
printlob() had the same ord()-over-bytes in its debug path.
- zipfilerugged.py: `isinstance(file, unicode)` raised NameError when a
file-like object (not a path string) was passed to the ZipFile.
- utilities.py: SafeUnbuffered.write referenced the undefined `unicode`
(same fix already applied to the obok copy).
- ineptpdf.py: ord(bookkey[0]) over an int in an error-diagnostic print.
- epubfontdecrypt.py: removed a dead py2 itertools.izip fallback.
- convert2xml.py: escapestr did bytes.replace(str, ...).
- kgenpids.py: decode() built a str result then += bytes.
Cleanups from the earlier shim removal: drop now-unused `import sys`
(alfcrypto, utilities, kgenpids); unicode_argv returns list(sys.argv) so
callers can't mutate the process-global sys.argv.
