Damien George 3e02b1d19a py/viper: Allow casting of Python integers to viper pointers.
This allows you to pass a number (being an address) to a viper function
that expects a pointer, and also allows casting of integers to pointers
within viper functions.

This was actually the original behaviour, but it regressed due to native
type identifiers being promoted to 4 bits in width.
