Casting a pointer to a non-pointer type is something which you should
never do. Instead, do something a bit more convoluted, but which is
guaranteed to give us the right pointer, as well as making sure that the
memory we exchange between python/cffi and the C extension is of the
right pointer size.
While we're touching this code, fix which object we pass to the Remote
constructor to keep alive. We need to pass the Repository object to
stop it from becoming unreferenced (and thus freeing memory the remote
needs) instead of the git_repository pointer.
