The buffer protocol type only has a single member, and this existing layout
creates problems for the upcoming split/slot-index mp_obj_type_t layout
optimisations.
If we need to make the buffer protocol more sophisticated in the future
either we can rely on the mp_obj_type_t optimisations to just add
additional slots to mp_obj_type_t or re-visit the buffer protocol then.
This change is a no-op in terms of generated code.

This replaces occurences of
foo_t *foo = m_new_obj(foo_t);
foo->base.type = &foo_type;
with
foo_t *foo = mp_obj_malloc(foo_t, &foo_type);
Excludes any places where base is a sub-field or when new0/memset is used.
