Jung-uk Kim 5045cff4a0 Fix fcntl module to accept 'unsigned long' type commands for ioctl(2).
Although POSIX says the type is 'int', all BSD variants (including Mac OS X)
have been using 'unsigned long' type for very long time and its use predates
the standard long enough.  For certain commands (e.g., TIOCSWINSZ, FIONBIO),
the Python value may get sign-extended on 64-bit platforms (by implicit type
promotion) and it causes annoying warnings from kernel such as this:

WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e

operations are typically defined in the library module :mod:`termios` and the
argument handling is even more complicated.
- The op parameter is limited to values that can fit in 32-bits.

The parameter *arg* can be one of an integer, absent (treated identically to the
integer ``0``), an object supporting the read-only buffer interface (most likely
a plain Python string) or an object supporting the read-write buffer interface.
