    arg: Make possible to set any pointer type without casting
    
    By default we consider a GIArgument to be a pointer value, unless a
    scalar is used, but in such case we must have defined a proper accessor
    or we'd fail anyway as per the static assertions.
    
    We can also use const_cast to always cast down to the un-const type so
    that we can avoid doing specializations for both const T* and T* as it
    happens with char* and const char*
    
    (Philip: Changed to use pattern-matching with T* instead of
    std::is_pointer)
