[DRBD-user] python-linstor, linstor-client 1.0.9 release

[Rene Peinthor]

Thanks for reporting, this seems to be a problem with python 3.5.
Pythons 3.5 json.loads only accepts str type, only after python 3.6 it will
also accept str, bytes or bytearray.
I'll have that fixed in the next version so it also supports 3.5, we don't
have distributions with 3.5 so we didn't notice.

Cheers,
Rene
