pyvex_c: widen HashHW value slot to ULong (fix 64-bit guest-pointer truncation on 32-bit hosts) (#541)

* pyvex_c: widen HashHW value slot to ULong

HashHW (lifted from libvex/ir_opt.c) caches (IR-temp -> resolved
constant) bindings during data_ref extraction. Values were typed
HWord (= unsigned long, host-pointer-width). On 32-bit hosts that's
4 bytes, but the guest can be 64-bit (AMD64, AArch64), so cached
guest pointers were silently truncated.

Symptom on wasm32-emscripten with an AMD64 guest: pyvex.lift returns
data_addr=0x6320 for a load whose actual target is 0x100006320 (high
32 bits dropped). Native x86-64 SysV hides the bug because long is
64-bit there.

Fix: store HashHW values as ULong unconditionally. Keys are
pyvex-internal IR-temp identifiers and can stay HWord.

Adds tests/test_data_refs_64bit_target.py to lock in the expected
value.

Fixes #539

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* tests: drop archinfo dep, add class docstring

archinfo isn't a pyvex test dependency, so the new test failed to
collect on all CI runners. Use the bundled pyvex.ARCH_AMD64 constant
instead. Also add the class docstring that the ecosystem lint flagged.

"""Regression test for HashHW value-slot truncation on 32-bit hosts.
See pyvex_c/analysis.c::HashHW. Before the fix, the cached register
value flowed through a `HWord` (= `unsigned long`, 32-bit on
wasm32-emscripten and other ILP32 hosts), silently dropping the high
32 bits of any guest pointer. The PoC below uses an AMD64 guest LEA +
memory load to land a 64-bit pointer in the HashHW.
