The extract api still returns some bytes instead of strings

[ptormene]

• [ ] Extracting realizations, branches are returned as bytes
• [ ] Extracting asset_tags, all items (taxonomies and tags) are returned as arrays of bytes
• [ ] Boundaries of ruptures are returned as bytes
• [ ] Extracting agg_curves, units are returned as bytes

Is this a problem, @ptormene ? If not, we can close the issue.

It is not an urgent matter and it is not necessary.

This will come hot again due to https://github.com/gem/oq-engine/issues/6668: h5py 3.1 returns bytes instead of strings, so it may break the plugin even more.

We already switched to h5py 3.1 without big issues; let's keep the status quo.
