Change the callback function to use void**.

NOTE: This change breaks backwards-compatibility by default.
If you have old callback functions, you can define PB_OLD_CALLBACK_STYLE
to retain the old behaviour.

If you want to convert your old callbacks to new signature, you need
to do the following:

1) Change decode callback argument to   void **arg
      and encode callback argument to   void * const *arg.

2) Change any reference to arg into *arg.

The rationale for making the new behaviour the default is that it
simplifies the common case of "allocate some memory in decode callback".
