struct module does not accept mmap#1408

struct.unpack/unpack_from accepts bytes, bytearray memoryview and other buffet-like objects but not mmap.

For reference, the re module accepts all of them and also mmap.

The memoryview object does not accept mmap, either.

    Closing this since struct now supports mmap. I think there are still some issues with large files (more than 2GB), but it's a more fundamental issue with our buffer protocol implementation.
