pytalloc: ensure talloc_ctx is directly after PyObject_HEAD
the talloc python interface for tp_alloc and tp_dealloc relies on a
cast to a py_talloc_Object to find the talloc_ctx (see
py_talloc_dealloc). This means we rely on the talloc_ctx for the
object being directly after the PyObject_HEAD
This fixes the talloc free with references bug in samba_dnsupdate
The actual problem was the tp_alloc() call in
PyCredentialCacheContainer_from_ccache_container() which used a cast
from a py_talloc_Object to a PyCredentialCacheContainerObject. That
case effectively changed the parent/child relationship between the
talloc_ctx and the ccc ptr.
This patch changes all the structures that follow this pattern to put
the TALLOC_CTX directly after the PyObject_HEAD, to ensure that if
anyone else decides to do a dangerous cast like this that it won't
cause the same sort of subtle breakage.
