- 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.

This patch adds targeted pylint disables, where it makes sense (either
due to limitations in pylint or due to historical usage), and also a few
blanket ones in rapi where all the names are… “different”.

Since modules are not directly executables, remove the shebang from
them. This helps with lintian warnings.

Also make the autogenerated _autoconf.py contain two comment lines at
the beginning, like the other modules.
