FFI: Simplified handling of custom ExternalAddress subclasses
Merged branches for FFI return type #pointer and #handle. Send
#initilize from C code and return from there rather than magically
change local variable and then hadling this in Smalltalk code
(this was bit tricky and hard to understand)

This is just a factory to generate ExternalBytes.
There are no instances of this class!!
The difference to ExternalBytes is, that #new: returns unprotected ExternalBytes,
that are not protected from garbage collecteded. ExternalBytes allocated #with new:
are not garbage collected.
