subprocess_shell in asyncio accepts cmd as a string or a bytes but the test unit, the documentation and the exception indicates that it only accepts a string.

IMO it's fine to support bytes on UNIX, os.fsencode() is well defined. On
Windows, we may use the same decoder.

A "string" can be a bytes string or a character string. I modified the documentation to be more explicitly, but IMO it's fine to keep "string" term in unit tests and error messages. You should not get the "string" error message if you pass a bytes or str object.
