perf python scripting: Fix printable strings in python3 scripts

Hagen reported broken strings in python3 tracepoint scripts:

  make PYTHON=python3
  perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a -- sleep 5
  perf script --gen-script py
  perf script -s ./perf-script.py

  [..]
  sched__sched_switch      7 563231.759525792        0 swapper   prev_comm=bytearray(b'swapper/7\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'), prev_pid=0, prev_prio=120, prev_state=, next_comm=bytearray(b'mutex-thread-co\x00'),

The problem is in the is_printable_array function that does not take the
zero byte into account and claim such string as not printable, so the
code will create byte array instead of string.

Committer testing:

After this fix:
