Improvements

• Added Fiddle::Struct.offsetof.

• Improved memory view availability detection. [GitHub#84][Reported by Jun Aruga]

• Changed Fiddle::Handle#to_i value to wrapped pointer from internal handle data pointer. It's a backward incompatible change but the previous behavior was meaningless. No users must depend on the previous behavior. So this will not cause any backward incompatible problem.

• Added Fiddle::Handle#to_ptr.

• Added Fiddle::Handle#file_name.

Improvements

• Added support for const in C type. [GitHub#68][Reported by kojix2]
