This partially reverts commit 4d9acfa533.
The original patch said:
"Python 3 handles unicode strings by default, so we can drop all that."
But this breaks building on RHEL 7 (or similiar) since python3 support
on is much more limited than newer distros. Backporting all the needed
python 3 libraries to EL7 is a pretty big task, and isn't very easy to
maintain.
For workstation purposes, we need the AMD MM/GL driver building on RHEL
7, so only src/util/driconf_static.py needs to be reverted.
