1. [CPyCppyy] Remove implicit conversion of any ctypes ptr type to void* …

   The `IsCTypesArrayOrPointer` gives false positives in Python 3.13,
   resulting the void pointer converter to take the wrong code path and
   crash. See:
   wlav/cppyy#272
   
   This code path is used for implicit conversion from other `ctypes`
   pointer types to `void*`, which is not strictly required. One can
   always do an explicit cast:  `ctypes.cast(my_ptr, ctypes.c_void_p )`.
   
   Given that this a niche feature that broke Python 3.13 support for
   functions taking `void*`, which is quite common, it can be argued that
   it's better to remove this implicit conversion.
   
   This commit fixes the following tests under Python 3.13:
   
   ```
   roottest-python-basic-datatype
   roottest-python-cpp-cpp
   ```
   
   This reverts the following commit from upstream:
