unix-ffi/sqlite3: Fix bytes to accommodate for different pointer sizes.

Currently, the bytes object used to store the sqlite3 database pointer
is always 4 bytes, which causes segfaults on 64 bit platforms with 8
byte pointers. To address this, the size is now dynamically determined
using the uctypes modules pointer size.
