Syncplay server no longer works with --password option

[alxpettit]

Syncplay server exits with TypeError when I try to start it with --password option.

[syncplay@caesium ~]$ /usr/bin/syncplay-server --port [REDACTED] --password [REDACTED]                          
Welcome to Syncplay server, ver. 1.5.6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/syncplay-server", line 36, in <module>
    args.stats_db_file))
  File "/usr/lib/syncplay/syncplay/server.py", line 28, in __init__
    password = hashlib.md5(password).hexdigest()
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing

I fixed the code by adding password = password.encode('utf-8') before line 28 in server.py. Some similar modification should be made to fix this regression. 😉

Your suggested fix has now been implemented. Thank you for flying with Syncplay :)
