[IronPython] Convert between python array and .NET Array

[Curt Hagenlocher]

It looks like the automatic overload resolution may be failing -- at least,
it's worth trying to resolve the overload manually. This would be something
like

from System import Array, Byte, IntPtr
Marshal.Copy.Overloads[Array[Byte], int, IntPtr, int](bytes, 0,
bmData.Scan0, total_bytes)
