[issue27274] [ctypes] Allow from_pointer creation

[Memeplex]

Now I see why you suggested ptr.as_void in 26565. Both issues are very related. Some functions are overloaded in the sense they automatically call c_void_p.from_param on their arguments; other functions aren't. Uniformity would dictate to treat all functions expecting an address the same way. Anyway this would not cover all use cases for ptr.toaddress or ptr.as_void or whatever it gets called.
