summary:     array size must be set as int, not numeric string

broke mpi4py and petsc4py, where I use stack-allocated arrays where
the size comes from an (external) enumeration, for example:

cdef char name[MPI_MAX_OBJECT_NAME+1]

I had to remove an 'assert' in Cython/Compiler/PyrexTypes.py at
__init__ of class CArrayType.
Additionally, I've added a few tests for all this. I really do not
know how to make the assert smarter by analyzing expressions.

Stefan, please review.
