- integration of patches from Raphael Luba, Thekla, Inc.:
* integration of aggregate-by-value (struct, union) support patch for x64 (win and sysv)
* windows/x64 asm additions to specify how stack unwinds (help for debuggers, exception handling, etc.)
* see Changelog for details
- new calling convention modes for thiscalls (platform agnostic, was specific before)
* new signature character for platform agnostic thiscalls ('*' / DC_SIGCHAR_CC_THISCALL)
- dcCallF(), dcVCallF(), dcArgF() and dcVArgF():
* added support for aggregates-by-value (wasn't part of patch)
* change that those functions don't implicitly call dcReset() anymore, which was unflexible (breaking change)
- added macros to feature test implementation for aggregate-by-value and syscall support
- changed libdyncall_s.lib and libdyncallback_s.lib order in callback test makefiles, as some toolchains are picky about order
- doc:
* man page updates to describe aggregate interface
* manual overview changes to highlight platforms with aggregate-by-value support
- test/plain: replaced tests w/ old/stale sctruct interface with new aggregate one

callback_suite_aggrs for dyncall written in C and Lua. Tests getting aggregates (structs, unions and arrays) back from a callback to whom they were passed by value, along with other, non-aggregate args. Note, arrays are only passed/returned by value as members of structs and unions, as they would decay to a pointer in C if passed to a function, and cannot be returned. So this test suite does not generate any arrays outside of structs and unions. A macro AGGR_MISALIGN can be used in globals.c to intentionally misalign aggregate instances used with callback object.
