[issue6735] restype pointer to Structure subclass never initialized

[dontbugme]

New submission from dontbugme <pythonbugsbugmenot at spamavert.com>:

So, say I'm sub-classing ctypes.Structure with a class: MyClass.

I define __init__() in MyClass..

If I explicitly instantiate MyClass(), then the __init__() is properly
executed as expected.

But say I have a CFUNCTYPE where I set it's restype member to a POINTER
to MyClass.. A python MyClass object is obviously instantiated at one
point in time, but it's __init__ is never called. Seems odd to me?
