- Split code using ctypes directly into a helper class
- Don't load “libc.so.6”, but use handle for main program instead (see
  comment in code)
- Clarify comment on errno with older ctypes versions
- Rename unittest since it can't be used for other functions (modifies
  process environment at runtime)
- Add boolean return value for “Mlockall”

These changes are leftovers from some experiments with ctypes.

In version 0.21, pylint unified all the disable-* (and enable-*)
directives to disable (resp. enable). This leads to a lot of
DeprecationWarning being emitted even if one uses the recommended
version of pylint (0.21.1, as stated in devnotes.rst).

This commit changes all the disable-msg directives to disable.
