The attached patch modifies the pointerset and pointerref intrinsics to check isbits rather than is_bitstype, so that they use the same code for any pointer-free immutable type.

It also adds a pointer_from_objref function which is the inverse of unsafe_pointer_to_objref.

Both of these functions are motivated by the desire to be able to store jl_value_t* pointers in a C struct given a pointer to the latter, as discussed on julia-dev.
