Revert "ipk: Decode byte data to string in manifest handling"

cf9df9e8d89f ("ipk: Decode byte data to string in manifest handling")
did a bit of least-effort fix to a string vs byte sequence issue in the
manifest handling. The approach was chosen as it localised the fix,
rather than having to analyse further call sites.

However since then f2167ae80258 ("package_manager/ipk: do not pipe
stderr to stdout") was applied, reworking the output handling from the
subcommand. dummy_bytes() now returns a string, so stop trying to decode
it.
