py: Allow bytes/bytearray/array to be init'd by buffer protocol objects.

Behaviour of array initialisation is subtly different for bytes,
bytearray and array.array when argument has buffer protocol.  This patch
gets us CPython conformant (except we allow initialisation of
array.array by buffer with length not a multiple of typecode).
