Apply this over patch.1n. Perlxs hints at some relaxed parameter list
restrictions in a future xsubpp--the hint can now be removed. I've also
added a small blurb for the REQUIRE: keyword which is in xsubpp 1.922.

I now have enough information to fill in the "Using XS with C++" section,
but I'm waiting for reactions to the xsubpp patch that I posted to the MM
list.

I do not have enough information to document PREINIT, INIT, ALIAS, CASE.
