Before, arbitrary data has been passed to the calling C code in this

when the value is retrieved of such an object.

Includes tests.

PyObject_stgdict() and PyType_stgdict() calls are non-NULL before
dereferencing the result.  Hopefully this fixes what klocwork is
complaining about.

Fix a few other nits as well.

Fixes #1535502.

Remove the -no-stack-protector compiler flag for OpenBSD

ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in

In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.

This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.

Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.

Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.
