manual: - adding aggregate passing and returning info for x64 (win and sysv, however, *only* w/ respect to types supported by dyncall) - python binding text cleanup and sync with current binding version - added suite_aggrs description and cleaned up other test suite descriptions a bit - update list of calling convention modes - cleanup and minor other fixes (e.g. changed \newpage in many places to \clearpage to avoid hitting float limit, crlf->cr, ...)

\section{Calling Conventions}

\paragraph{Before we go any further\ldots}

It is important to understand that this section isn't a general
purpose description of the present calling conventions.
It merely explains the calling conventions \textbf{for the parameter/return types
supported by \dc}, not for aggregates (structures, unions and classes), SIMD
data types (\_\_m64, \_\_m128, \_\_m128i, \_\_m128d), etc.\\
We strongly advise the reader not to use this document as a general purpose
calling convention reference.
