In Python 3, the base64.b64decode function raises binascii.Error (a ValueError
subclass) when it finds incorrect padding. In Python 2 it raises TypeError.
Callers should usually handle ValueError; unless they are specifically
concerned with handling base64 padding issues).
In some cases, callers should handle ValueError:
- ipalib.pkcs10 (get_friendlyname, load_certificate_request): callers should
handle ValueError
- ipalib.x509 (load_certificate*, get_*): callers should handle ValueError
In other cases ValueError is handled:
- ipalib.parameters
- ipapython.ssh
- ipalib.rpc (json_decode_binary - callers already expect ValueError)
- ipaserver.install.ldapupdate
Elsewhere no error handling is done, because values come from trusted
sources, or are pre-validated:
- vault plugin
- ipaserver.install.cainstance
- ipaserver.install.certs
- ipaserver.install.ipa_otptoken_import

The six way of doing this is to replace all occurences of "unicode"
with "six.text_type". However, "unicode" is non-ambiguous and
(arguably) easier to read. Also, using it makes the patches smaller,
which should help with backporting.

Public keys in the old format (raw RFC 4253 blob) are automatically
converted to OpenSSH-style public keys. OpenSSH-style public keys are now
stored in LDAP.
Changed sshpubkeyfp to be an output parameter, as that is what it actually
is.
Allow parameter normalizers to be used on values of any type, not just
unicode, so that public key blobs (which are str) can be normalized to
OpenSSH-style public keys.
