[ffigen] Variadic arguments with function types.

[dcharkes]

@dcharkes is there a way to do variadic arguments that are functions? trying to generate libcurl bindings

CURL_EXTERN CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *curl, CURLoption option, ...);

and a version of the function accepts a

static size_t curl_callback(char *data, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *clientp)

 functions:
    variadic-arguments:
      curl_easy_setopt:
        - [ 'long' ]
        - [ 'char*' ]
        - [ 'curl_off_t' ]
        - [ 'size_t curl_callback(char *data, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *clientp)' ] <- this is what i want to somehow represent

@liamappelbe I suppose we don't support defining new types yet?

Now that we're starting to move into the visitor-world instead of yaml-config-world, could we conceivably add something for that?

@kingwill101 A possible work around would be to make a typedef for the function type in a separate header file, and add that header file to your FFIgen config, and use the typedef name as the type.

I believe I tried that approach and it didn't work. Will give it another shot

Yeah, that's doable. It's not a small feature though. I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on it.
