backend_qt5.py Don't use six.u

[jenshnielsen]

This code already does from __future__ import unicode_literal.
Thus '+' will be a unicode string even in python 2 and there is no
need for converting it into a unicode string. In fact this results in
a TypeError because six.u assumes the input string to be ASCII only.
See http://pythonhosted.org/six/#six.u

This fixes test failures with rc3 on python 2

An alternative solution would be to get rid of the use of from __future__ import unicode_literal but this seems less intrusive at this late stage.

@cgohlke you changed this code the last time to ensure python 3.2 compatibility. Can you please check that you are ok with this change.

[jenshnielsen]

Simple example of reproducing the error outside matplotlib is:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
import six
six.u('+')

Getting rid of either the from future or the six.u removes the error and gives the expected result
