(cherry picked from commit 138753c1b9)
Ctypes currently produces wrong pep3118 type codes for several types.
E.g. memoryview(ctypes.c_long()).format gives "<l" on 64-bit platforms,
but it should be "<q" instead for sizeof(c_long) == 8
The problem is that the '<>' endian specification in the struct syntax
also turns on the "standard size" mode, which makes type characters have
a platform-independent meaning, which does not match with the codes used
internally in ctypes. The struct module format syntax also does not
allow specifying native-size non-native-endian items.
This commit adds a converter function that maps the internal ctypes
codes to appropriate struct module standard-size codes in the pep3118
format strings. The tests are modified to check for this.

Based on patch by Victor Stinner.
Add private C API function _PyUnicode_AsUnicode() which is similar to
PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), but checks for null characters..

bpo-29939: Changed test code to suppress a compiler warning, while taking care to avoid the code being optimized out by the compiler.
(cherry picked from commit 164d30eb1e)
* Initialize restype and flags fields to fix a crash when Python runs on a
read-only file system
* Use Py_ssize_t type rather than int for the "i" iterator variable
* Reorder assignements to be able to more easily check if all fields are
initialized
