Title: Fix dtype hash + char/int discrepencies for dtype->flags (#2017)

This is something that warrants discussion. I fixed inconsistencies between int and char for the dtype->flags variable, but the t_INT -> T_BYTE breaks pickling: arrays pickled before this fix will not be unpickable.

Besides this issue, everything else related to int vs char should go in anyway. The last commit of the PR is independent of the others (but is the one fixing #2017).
