Fix Vector CANlib treatment of empty app name

In Python 2, the str type was used for text and bytes, whereas in Python
3, these are separate and incompatible types. This broke instantiation
of a VectorBus when the app_name parameter in __init__ was set to None.

This correctly sets it to a bytes object.

Fixes #796
