[issue3163] module struct support for ssize_t and size_t

[Jean Brouwers]

New submission from Jean Brouwers <MrJean1 at Gmail.com>:

Attached is a (simplistic) patch for the struct module to support C types 
ssize_t and size_t with format characters 'z' resp. 'Z'.

The patch updates Python 2.6b1 files Modules/_struct.c and 
Doc/library/struct.rst.

Note, format character 'Z' is also proposed in PEP 3118 for C type complex  
and that has to be something else, perhaps 'C'.
