Which types are accepted by the readinto() method of the C io module? If
the C module only accepts bytearray, the array hack must be removed from
_pyio.

The _pyio module is mostly used for testing purpose, it's much slower. I
hope that nobody uses it in production, the module is private (underscore
prefix). So it's fine to break backward compatibilty to have the same
behaviour then the C module.
