If a Python 2 user provides the GCP privateKey field as a base64 encoded bytes (ie str) then pymongocrypt will perform another round of base64 encoding and the app will fail to encrypt/decrypt with these errors:

We should document this pitfall and suggest the proper behavior. The app can either:
- Pass the base64 decoded privateKey field as bytes (str on Python 2), or
- Pass the base64 encoded privateKey field as unicode.
Note a similar problem exists for the kms_providers.local.key field except that the user gets a different error. We should document this error as well.
