83b7ca12 Fall back for Char_t leaf reading

Former-commit-id: 39a6653a

The pythonization of TFile::root was calling the SetSize method
on a PyROOT buffer object.  The argument that SetSize takes is the
number of elements in the buffer, where the size of each element
depends on how the buffer was created.  Here, however, we were
passing to SetSize a number of bytes.

The buffer elements we were seeing were void*, which have size 8.
So the buffer size was getting misset by a factor of 8.
This was leading to a crash in the input file peeker.

This crash was however only observed in the muRunData test of TrigUpgradeTest,
and only when it was run with --stdcmalloc and MALLOC_CHECK_=3.
It's a bit a mystery why this apparently long-standing bug hasn't 
caused problems before.

Removing references to PyCintex, Reflex and ROOT6Setup from PyUtils
as final cleanup after the ROOT6 transition
ROOT6Setup remains in Helpers as it is still in use by other packages
Note: Dso.py was earlier disabled and this commit does not fix it
