Bug report

asyncio.Protocol.data_received prototype not respected: when using create_connection to create a tcp transport data_received is being called with a bytearray object instead of bytes.
If this is expected behaviour libraries like httpx and such should be warned or the prototype modified, although I doubt it's intended because it would suppose the generator doesn't hold reference to it otherwise data could change while stored in buffered stuff.

import sys
print(f'Python: {sys.version}\n')

import asyncio

class MyProto(asyncio.Protocol):
    def data_received(self, data: bytes) -> None:
        print('@@@@@@@@@@ ', data)
    def eof_received(self):
        print('##########')

async def main():
    t, proto = await asyncio.get_running_loop().create_connection(MyProto, 'example.com', 80)
    t.write(b'SITE BE MAD\n\n')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    t.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Correct output: @@@@@@@@@@ b'HTTP/1.0 ...WHATEVER THE SERVER ANSWERS...'
Faulty output: @@@@@@@@@@ bytearray(b'HTTP/1.0 ...WHATEVER THE SERVER ANSWERS...')

Your environment

On Windows 11 x64

Tested on:

• 3.11.0 (main, Oct 24 2022, 18:26:48) [MSC v.1933 64 bit (AMD64)]
• 3.10.1 (tags/v3.10.1:2cd268a, Dec 6 2021, 19:10:37) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)]

Working as expected in:

• 3.9.9 (tags/v3.9.9:ccb0e6a, Nov 15 2021, 18:08:50) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)]
