Subject: py3: send Decimal number as string instead of base64 encoded value


for Decimal only from client to server direction uses __base64__
notation. Server replies with pure string for Decimal data, and also
server is able to parse string and create decimal values where needed.

without this we need ugly py3 code:
-        return {'__base64__': base64.b64encode(str(val))}
+        return {'__base64__': base64.b64encode(
+            str(val).encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')}
