Update the information in README about using the library.
Changes in the library have left the README giving out of date information on how to intialise the library and get the symbols out of it. Update the documentation to match the latest functions.

This means that a user of the library will literally just need to do

and he is now done - having a full C parse of the file he opened. The
library doesn't need any more setup, and once done does not impose any
more requirements. The user is free to do whatever he wants with the
parse tree that got built up, and needs not worry about the library ever
again. There is no extra state, there are no parser callbacks, there is

The library also contains (as an example user) a few clients that do the
preprocessing, parsing and type evaluation and just print out the
