When we bump the ABI the next time I want to remove all uses of defined macros
in the public API and only provide actual functions.

In the mean time, I plan to provide a lookup-thing on the libssh2.org web page
that will help users figure out the actual function call the macro is using,
and I'll use that to improve the links from the examples hosted on the site.

I'd also like to mention that 'make tags' and using the produced generated
lookup-table is a neat way to find symbols in the code.
