Explicit unicode strings in Python step definition patterns

[nopa12]

when i use unicode strings:

@given(u'I fill the settings form with real valid settings')

feature:

     Given I fill the settings form with real valid settings

behave works but cucumber extension doesn't see the u string given and report it as missing.

Undefined step: I fill the settings form with real valid settingsCucumber[cucumber.undefined-step](https://cucumber.io/docs/cucumber/step-definitions/)

when i remove the u it works.
i don't know if it's a bug or on purpose.

"u strings" are no longer needed! Python 3 made them redundant, as the default string type is Unicode.

• behave currently shows missing steps with u“…“ due to compatibility with Python2.7 (and older Python3) version(s).
• If you are using Python3, you have no need to use the Unicode-String prefix
• Unicode-String prefix support will become deprecated in Python 3.12 (I think)
