Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * rbd-target-api service fails to start if there is a blocklist
     entry for the unit making the service unavailable.

   * When the rbd-target-api service starts it checks if any of the
     ip addresses on the machine it is running on are listed as
     blocked. If there are entries it tries to remove them. In the
     process of removing the entries the code attempts to test whether
     a string is in the result of a subprocess.check_output call. This 
     would have worked in python2 but with python3 a byte like object
     is returned and check now throws a TypeError. This fix, taken from
     upstream, changes the code to remove the `in` check and replace it
     with a try/except

  [Test Plan]

   If an existing ceph-iscsi deployment is available then skip to
   step 3.

   1) Deploy the bundle below (tested with OpenStack providor).

  series: focal
  applications:
    ceph-iscsi:
      charm: cs:ceph-iscsi
      num_units: 2
    ceph-osd:
      charm: ch:ceph-osd
      num_units: 3
      storage:
        osd-devices: 'cinder,10G'
      options:
        osd-devices: '/dev/test-non-existent'
      channel: latest/edge
    ceph-mon:
      charm: ch:ceph-mon
      num_units: 3
      options:
        monitor-count: '3'
      channel: latest/edge
  relations:
    - - 'ceph-mon:client'
      - 'ceph-iscsi:ceph-client'
    - - 'ceph-osd:mon'
      - 'ceph-mon:osd'

   2) Connect to ceph-iscsi unit:

  juju ssh -m zaza-a1d88053ab85 ceph-iscsi/0

   3) Stop rbd-target-api via systemd to make test case clearer:

  sudo systemctl stop rbd-target-api

   4) Add 2 blocklist entries for this unit (due to another issue the
  ordering of the output from `osd blacklist ls` matters which can lead
  to the reproduction of this bug being intermittent. To avoid this add
  two entries which ensures there is always an entry for this node in
  the list of blocklist entries to be removed).

  sudo ceph -n client.ceph-iscsi --conf /etc/ceph/iscsi/ceph.conf osd blacklist add $(hostname --all-ip-addresses | awk '{print $1}'):0/1
  sudo ceph -n client.ceph-iscsi --conf /etc/ceph/iscsi/ceph.conf osd blacklist add $(hostname --all-ip-addresses | awk '{print $1}'):0/2
  sudo ceph -n client.ceph-iscsi --conf /etc/ceph/iscsi/ceph.conf osd blacklist ls
    listed 2 entries
    172.20.0.135:0/2 2022-02-23T11:14:54.850352+0000
    172.20.0.135:0/1 2022-02-23T11:14:52.502592+0000

   5) Attempt to start service:

  sudo /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/rbd-target-api
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/rbd-target-api", line 2952, in <module>
      main()
    File "/usr/bin/rbd-target-api", line 2862, in main
      osd_state_ok = ceph_gw.osd_blacklist_cleanup()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceph_iscsi_config/gateway.py", line 111, in osd_blacklist_cleanup
      rm_ok = self.ceph_rm_blacklist(blacklist_entry.split(' ')[0])
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceph_iscsi_config/gateway.py", line 46, in ceph_rm_blacklist
      if ("un-blacklisting" in result) or ("isn't blacklisted" in result):
  TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

  [Where problems could occur]

   * Problems could occur with the service starting as this blocklist check is done at startup.

   * Blocklist entries could fail to be removed.
