Error in Environment.py: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

After installing rebench on Fedora 32 with pip install rebench i had the following error:

fatal: No remote configured to list refs from.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/rebench", line 5, in <module>
    from rebench.rebench import main_func

    as_string = out.decode('utf-8')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

The rebench version is 1.0.1 I was able to run rebench successfully after removing the .decode('utf-8') in environment.py

Hm, thinking about it, I think these issues may already be fixed on master. I'll prepare a new release. It is also going to contain the support to reduce the noise from the system.

I confirm it works on master (https://github.com/smarr/ReBench/commit/0ec399a8c23a84022aa0271eb1caf30bdea8b2f6).

With #208 being merged, there's only one Python version, so, I hope such issues are a thing of the past and hope this is resolved.
