[issue2396] Backport memoryview object to Python 2.7

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Here is a patch. Some remarks:
- I had to disable a few tests in test_memoryview.py, mainly because
array.array does not support the new buffer API in 2.x
- I kept the PyBytes_* aliases in memoryobject.c rather than using the
PyString_* equivalents. Is it ok?
- I didn't update the Windows build files, I suppose someone else can do
it (I'm unable to do it myself)
- I'm not sure about the tp_flags juggling in typeobject.c, my additions
may be redundant (although very lightweight)
