Rather than sprinkle casts throughout the code, change Py_CHARMASK to
always cast it's result to an unsigned char.  This should ensure we
do the right thing when accessing an array with the result.

since char is signed on some platforms and unsigned on others.

  The type system of Python 2.6 has subtle differences to 3.0's. I've removed the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flags from bytearray for now. bytearray can't be subclasses until the issues with bytearray subclasses are fixed.
