MAINT: Fix Python version dependent test.

The buffer test in numpy/core/tests/test_api.py was apparently
testing for incorrect behavior that was corrected in Python 2.7.5.
This PR changes the test to check for the correct results and makes
running it depend on Python version.

Closes #3512.
Merge pull request #3522 from charris/fix-test_api
