#16518: Bring error messages in harmony with docs ("bytes-like object")

Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like
object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used.
This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error
messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the
buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required.  (The
glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer
protocol in the docs.)
