Subject: [PATCH] gh-136769: Include fixed-width integers in the fundamental
data types table (GH-136784)
Fixed-sized types, like ``c_int32``, are currently missing from the fundamental data types table
in the ``ctypes`` documentation. This commit adds them, and notes that ``c_[u]int8`` is an alias
of ``c_[u]byte``.
(cherry picked from commit acefb978dcb5dd554e3c49a3015ee5c2ad6bfda1)
