Changes in the library have left the README giving out of date information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 patch was already submitted by James Westby and had to be reverted again
after he didn't responded in the 4 year relicense process. Now he accepted the
change to MIT license and I just resubmit it for him. So it is a revert for the
revert 01b00f59f2a6aba6b623c0a68827938c1f570877 ('Revert "Update the
information in README about using the library."')
Sorry for the inconveniences.

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
