MsgPack codec is broken for array of bytes objects

[alimanfoo]

Currently the tests involving the msgpack codec expect broken behaviour where the codec converts an array of bytes objects to an array of str (unicode) objects. Relevant line of code is here:

https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr/blob/a4d5656e3042216308b03ab7514567139d4004fc/zarr/tests/test_core.py#L985

This is causing problems elsewhere, e.g., #278 (comment).

Went ahead and added this to the v2.3 milestone so we can track it. Though if we decide to punt on it, we can always re-milestone it.

Thank you, yes forgot I had meant to include this in 2.3.
