Does not accept standard input when running under python 3 about html2text

[Alir3z4]

It's a Python 3 compatibility issue.
I'll look into it later, meanwhile feel free to patch.

I mark this as a bug.

This problem also occurs when running html2text as the mu4e-html2text command in mu4e in Emacs and is caused by the fact that str objects do not have decode methods.

Replacing

data = data.decode(encoding)

on line 1083 of init.py with

if hasattr(data, "decode"):
    data = data.decode(encoding)

seems to fix it.

File objects in Python 3 are not binary by default. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin. The fix, at least for Python 3, in file html2text/init.py is:

    else:
    #data = sys.stdin.read()
    data = sys.stdin.buffer.read()

Note: the other input/file objects do return bytes (urllib.urlopen() and open(file_, 'rb')).

Adding additional shell script tests would be useful, similar to:

1. "echo '

   hi

   ' | html2text"
2. html2text file
3. html2text url

Please have a look at pull request #46 it passes the test suite at travis as well: https://travis-ci.org/Alir3z4/html2text/builds/42863577

Lemme know if you have any suggestion for improvement, I'll merge by end of the week and issue new release.
