Description

We have a few dtests failing because we're trying to decode a string object returned from ccm Node functions.

repair_tests/repair_test.py::TestRepair::test_no_anticompaction_of_already_repaired fails at line 283 because we try to decode data from ccm node.nodetool().

sstablesplit_test.py::TestSSTableSplit::test_single_file_split fails at line 106 because because we try to decode data from ccm node.run_sstablesplit().

In both cases, ccm is returning strings instead of bytes now, so we shouldn't decode them anymore.
