There is a type mismatch for the length parameter of aiString between

the strings used in materials and elsewhere in assimp. Because of this,
in PyAssimp3 strings in materials don't work properly on 64 bits
platforms. This commit adds a StringUInt32 ctypes structure and use it
in GetMaterialProperties as a workaround.
