fetch: Decode gclient output if returning stdout

In Python 3 the output of a subprocess is bytes, so they need to be decoded to be used as a string.

This previously caused the following error if there was an existing checkout during a fetch:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Google\depot_tools\\fetch.py", line 318, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "C:\Google\depot_tools\\fetch.py", line 313, in main
    return run(options, spec, root)
  File "C:\Google\depot_tools\\fetch.py", line 299, in run
    if not options.force and checkout.exists():
  File "C:\Google\depot_tools\\fetch.py", line 98, in exists
    return (os.path.exists(os.path.join(gclient_root, b'.gclient')) or
  File "C:\Program Files\Python38\lib\ntpath.py", line 109, in join
    genericpath._check_arg_types('join', path, *paths)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python38\lib\genericpath.py", line 151, in _check_arg_types
    raise TypeError("Can't mix strings and bytes in path components") from None
TypeError: Can't mix strings and bytes in path components
