A bit more refactoring for gh-128715: use flags instead of some of the switch cases that need to list every type code with some property.

Also simplify code that went through _ctypes_get_fielddesc to get a function defined in the same file.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

This moves pointerness out of a switch :)
@encukou
Remove local uses of _ctypes_get_fielddesc; use the functions directly

@ZeroIntensity: This is about where I left off last year, moving ctypes type information from switches to data values so that it can later be exposed and/or generalized.
