Currently, `SimpleUploadedFile` requires a bytes-like object to be passed
as `content`, and `open()` always returns a `BytesIO`. This makes it
useless in contexts where text-mode file-like object is expected. (I hit
this issue when trying to pass `file.open()` to `pandas.read_csv()`, for
instance.)

It would be great if `SimpleUploadedFile` would alternatively accept a
`str`, in which case `open()` would then return a `StringIO` instead.
