UnicodeDecodeError when creating IntegrityError on duplicate binary key

[blep]

* Description:
When mysql connector attemps to generate the error message for an IntegrityError due to a duplicate binary key error, it attempts to convert the binary key to text resulting in an unicode decoding error.

Below is the stack trace produced by the attached sample:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\mysql\connector\errors.py", line 78, in raise_error
    errmsg = buf.decode('utf-8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 17: invalid start byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "binarypkduplicate.py", line 34, in <module>
    main()
  File "binarypkduplicate.py", line 29, in main
    cursor.execute( stmt, (KEY2, 'comment') )
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\mysql\connector\cursor.py", line 333, in execute
    res = self.db().protocol.cmd_query(stmt)

Remember verifying this, but did not update the bug.. thanks for the great report!

Smaller test case:

    cnx = mysql.connector.connect(database='test',charset='utf8')
    cur = cnx.cursor()
    cur.execute('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1')
    cur.execute('CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 BINARY(1), UNIQUE KEY (c1))')

    insert = "INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (%s)"
    data = (b'\x80')
    cur.execute(insert, (data,))
    cur.execute(insert, (data,))

    cur.close()
    cnx.close()

This is Python 3 specific, and we'll fix it like this in errors.raise_error()
  errmsg = buf.decode('utf-8','surrogateescape')

Maybe we can do something similar for Python v2, but

.. but we'll leave as is (for Python v2)
