Summary: long long support for array module

Initial Comment:
This patch adds signed and unsigned long long support
to the array module. These types are already supported
by the struct module and use the same format characters
(q/Q).

Also corrects a minor bug in PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong
which reports a BadInternalCall for arguments of
inappropriate type rather than a mere TypeError as
reported by the other conversion functions.

My patch was against 2.4... (duh!)

The other bug is already fixed on 2.5.

No two conversion function in longobject.c seem to have the same rules for what to do about non-long objects :-(  I'm afraid some clean-up would be useful, but also difficult for fear of breaking existing user C code :-(

In fact, your patch doesn't apply with today's CVS because someone already tried to add some magic in PyObject_AsLongLong().  It also fails on test_array.py and applies uncleanly on arraymodule.c.

Also, it needs to update the array module documentation.
