This was backported by mistake in ef19fd20.

The change in the mini language floating point and decimal table
is consistent with 'Exponential notation' and clarifies that we
are referring to the output notation, not an object type.

* Fix compilation warning in _ctypes module on Window

(cherry picked from commit 20f11fe4)

* Fix compilation warnings on Windows 64-bit

(cherry picked from commit 725e4212)

* Fix compiler warning in unicodeobject.c

Explicitly case to Py_UNICODE to fix the warning:

Objects\unicodeobject.c(4225): warning C4244: '=' :
conversion from 'long' to 'Py_UNICODE', possible loss of data

The downcast cannot overflow since we check that value <= 0x10ffff.

Use a local scope for the 'i' variable.

Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.

Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).

Added missing .grab_release() calls to all places where we call .grab_set().
