Neal Norwitz 615461603c SF Bug #1454485, array.array('u') could crash the interpreter when
passing a string.  Martin already fixed the actual crash by ensuring
Py_UNICODE is unsigned.  As discussed on python-dev, this fix
removes the possibility of creating a unicode string from a raw buffer.

There is an outstanding question of how to fix the crash in 2.4.
