[Buildroot] [git commit branch/2021.08.x] utils/getdeveloperlib.py: fix check_output() return value decoding

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=00762d524a99c5586967594280006f20e847c841
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2021.08.x

In Python 3.x, check_output() returns a "bytes" array, and not a
string. Its result needs to be decoded to be turned into a
string. Without this fix, "get-developers -c" bails out with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/./utils/get-developers", line 105, in <module>
    __main__()
  File "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/./utils/get-developers", line 53, in __main__
    files = getdeveloperlib.check_developers(devs)
  File "/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/utils/getdeveloperlib.py", line 280, in check_developers
    files = subprocess.check_output(cmd).strip().split("\n")
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
