bpo-26707: Enable plistlib to read UID keys. (pythonGH-12153)

Plistlib currently throws an exception when asked to decode a valid
.plist file that was generated by Apple's NSKeyedArchiver. Specifically,
this is caused by a byte 0x80 (signifying a UID) not being understood.

This fixes the problem by enabling the binary plist reader and writer
to read and write plistlib.UID objects.
