Adding get_pointer VTABLEs to the Integer PMC

[Andrew Whitworth]

vtable != method. You can't call get_pointer from PIR. Pointers and
other dangerous nonsense is not used directly in the "protected"
environment.

Testing this is probably best done at the C level, or with some kind
of NCI. You can't directly test get_pointer from PIR.

On visual inspection your implementation of it looks correct, getting
a test to prove it is the hardest part.
