Indentation broken after b'{' #75
Description
I ran a git bisect and it seems like since commit 8d58bf4 back in 2016 this plugin breaks indentation after a byte string with an unclosed {, such as b'{', resulting in the following indentation:
if license.startswith(b'{'):
print('json license')
else:
print('regular license')I have no idea how a syntax highlighting plugin breaks this, but it does.
Reproduced on Debian 10 x64 and NVIM v0.5.0-799-g186ba3b68 with minimal init.vim:
call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'vim-python/python-syntax'
call plug#end()

I have currently no clue why this occurs, but the issue disappears when you remove all the
contains=frompythonBytesat L171-L174. Seems to also still work if you only keepcontains=@Spell.Work around indentation bug with b'{' (vim-python#75)

This bug can be fixed by renaming the groups
python(Raw)Bytestopython(Raw)ByteString(or something else that ends withString). It exists because of this check: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/cf85d97bafdcc7837a77ab79cc04da189fa3dd0c/runtime/autoload/python.vim#L64.
