dynload:
  o fix to build with musl libc
  o support for loading macos >= 11.0.1 (Big Sur) dylibs provided by system's "built-in dynamic
    linker cache of all system-provided libraries" (those dylibs are no longer present on the fs)
  o fix to work on recent Haiku versions (r1 beta versions)
doc:
  o manual now specifying calling convention signature chars
  o dynload(3) note about macos >= 11.0.1 cached dylib support (see above)
  o marked Haiku/x64 as supported and tested
bindings:
  o pydc: Python 3 support, Python 2 unicode support, added get_path function, changing
    'Z' conversions to only immutable types and 'p' to mutable types (and handles), support
    passing None for 'Z' and 'p', bytearray support, support to specify calling convention
  o shdc: can reference own executable now and support for more calling conventions
  o shdc: syscall support
tests:
  o extended callf testcode to test callconv mode switch signature chars (including syscalls)
  o robustness fixes (thanks Bernhard!)
  o dynload_plain test fix on macos >= 11.0.1 (Big Sur)
  o made inode testing of dynload_plain optional, depending on platform support or if macos
    dylib not on fs but provided through system's cache
