Fix SVG generation for Python3

[hkiel]

Dietmar reported a bug in SVG generation for the library documentation script when run with Python3:

2018-12-19 07:05:51,534 - generate_icons.py - INFO - Exporting: Modelica.Blocks.Interaction.Show.BooleanValue

I also encountered a second one:

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str

I fixed the script by adding a few more explicit casts to satisfy type checking:

• colors seem to be accepted as integer 0-255, but not float 0-255
• the binary bitmap-image-files need to be opened in binary mode. read() returns an array of bytes then and not a string, which is then converted useing base64. The result needs to be concatenated with a string, so the base64 converted bytes array needs to be cast to s atring.

Fixed in ​PR2839

Tested and I confirm this fixes the issue.
