TypeManager.static_pointer_array/TypeManager.dynamic_pointer_array are broken.

What pointer_attribute expects is CustomType not Array/BasePointer.

And even if the Array inherits CustomType, the pointers set in the Array will be immediately discarded if not managed independently since the Array is dynamically created. (#490)

Code:

from memory.manager import CustomType
from memory.manager import TypeManager

type_manager = TypeManager()

class TestStaticPointerArray(CustomType, metaclass=type_manager):
    _size = 4
    static_vec_array = type_manager.static_pointer_array("Vector", 0, 1)

def test_static_pointer_array():
    test = TestStaticPointerArray()
    test.static_vec_array[0] = Vector(0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
    print(test.static_vec_array[0])

test_static_pointer_array()
