waf: git_submodule: fix uid() method for python3

[guludo]

Python3's hashlib.md5() requires Unicode-objects to be encoded before hashing.

[magicrub]

is this specific to python3?

[guludo]

@magicrub The enconding requirement is python3-specific, but the fix works for both python2 and python3.

I was hoping this would fix the windows SITL bug where python is crashing. Maybe it helps?

[guludo]

Do you mean this #3586 ? If so, it's unrelated.

By the way, I haven't tried using the waf based build system on windows yet hehe
Plan to do it soon.

[magicrub]

That is what I meant.

That bug should be fixed in mavlink repository, not in ardupilot. mavgen.py is crashing... @magicrub could you provide the message when running mavgen in windows? @tridge tried waf on windows, but it's crashing on mavgen, just like with the make build system.

[guludo]

@lucasdemarchi This fix is unrelated to that. Just to be clear :-)

[lucasdemarchi]

@guludo yes, I know... I was explaining that to @magicrub

[lucasdemarchi]

Applied.
