C data types for FFI

FFI::C provides tools for building classes to interface for common C data types. Arrays, struct, union and nested types based on those are supported. Core FFI::Platypus also provides FFI::Platypus::Record for manipulating and passing structured data. Typically you want to use FFI::C instead, the main exception is when you need to pass structured data by value instead of by reference. To work with C APIs that work with C file pointers you can use FFI::C::File and FFI::C::PosixFile. For C APIs that expose the POSIX stat structure use FFI::C::Stat.
