get_id_tag/get_id_tag_by_pos_fid are internal functions that always return bytes, but when using the former proxied through the latter, we did not always decode the result in the process of generating an OPF. As a result, books would end up with nav links pointing to urls resembling "foo.html#b'anchor'". Fix by moving down the decode attempt to cover both, right before writing it back into the index_entries.
