gh-104533: Fix @ctypes.util.struct with endian

[vstinner]

Change _fields_ type to a list of tuples, instead of a list of lists.

Modify test.test_ctypes.test_aligned_structures to test also @ctypes.util.struct decorator.

• Issue: Annotation-based syntax for ctypes structs #104533

[vstinner]

Union classes created with get_union_base() are not tested with @ctypes.util.struct since this decorator is for structures, not for unions.

Later, it would be interesting to add @ctypes.util.union decorator for union classes ;-)

Agreed. I had left it out of the original PR because it seemed like there was less demand for it, but I'd be happy to review a PR or contribute it myself.

If we get take_tuple in 3.16, we should switch to that here :)

[vstinner]

Merged, thanks for the review.

test_ctypes is failing:

https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/1609/builds/6406

Likely caused by this or one of the other recent ctypes PRs:

• gh-104533: Fix @ctypes.util.struct with string annotations #154040
• gh-153903: Fix ctypes wrap_dll_function() with string annotations #154042
• gh-104533: Update test_ctypes.test_structures #154091

[ZeroIntensity]

It was caused by a combination of PRs. Victor already has a fix up.

Sorry for the noise. It has already been fixed by #154091.
