Change Pointer to void *

The comment for the Pointer type said 'XXX Pointer arithmetic is done
with this, so it can't be void * under "true" ANSI compilers.'.  This
has been fixed in the previous commit 756a4368932.  This now changes
the definition of the type from char * to void *, as envisaged by that
comment.

Extension code that relies on using Pointer for pointer arithmetic
will need to make changes similar to commit 756a4368932, but those
changes would be backward compatible.
