The to_native_str function was supposed to produce Unicode decoded
native strings for python2 and python3.

Upon further consideration this doesn't make much sense since under
python2 it would need to decode the bytes into a Unicode string and turn
it back into a python2 str.

The ability to use the replacement character requires us to use a
Unicode string under python2 as well.

also reduce the amount of memory copying that we do

This commit imports the python bindings from:
    https://github.com/poljar/python-olm



The bindings are imported at commit c44b145818520d69eaaa350fb95afcb846125e0f

Minor modifications were made while importing:
    - Removed travis config
    - Removed Arch Linux PKGBUILD
    - Removed the html docs, they can be rebuild by running make html in
      the docs folder
    - Slightly modified the README

The new bindings feature some improvements over the old ones:
    - Python 2 and 3 support
    - Automatic memory management
    - Automatic memory clearing before it is freed
    - Type signatures via the python typing module
    - Full test coverage
    - Properties are utilized where it makes sense (e.g. account.id)
