I have made some minor API changes (added two methods to `CLinker` to return the upcall and downcall method types, as suggested offline by @PaulSandoz). I've also cleaned up the `CLinker` javadoc, and added a section on safety consideration, streamlined the links in the package-level javadoc and renamed `MemorySegment::ofAddressNative` to simply `MemorySegment::ofAddress` (which is consistent with restricted factories in `NativeSymbol` and `VaList`).
