Summary: bug fix: ctypes truncates 64-bit pointers

Initial Comment:
At several places _ctypes module converts a python integer to a void* pointer by first extracting an argument into an int.  Attached patch changes int to Py_ssize_t that is guaranteed to be wide enough to hold a pointer.

Thanks for the patch.  The changes look correct, however, can you create a
test for these cases?
