[issue34778] Memoryview for column-major (f_contiguous) arrays from bytes impossible to achieve

CC Antoine and Nick.

I think we can do it, but we'd need cast(shape=[2,3], order='F')
to allow casting back.

The only practical objections are feature creep. To preserve
symmetry with tobytes(), we'd need to add tobytes('F') (and
tobytes('A')).
