Document the new ctypes features.

It would be great if someone could review both sematics, markup, and
spelling, and correct the versionadded and versionchanges markers.

 The *mode* parameter can be used to specify how the library is loaded.  For
 details, consult the ``dlopen(3)`` manpage, on Windows, *mode* is ignored.
 
+The *use_errno* parameter, when set to True, enables a ctypes
+mechanism that allows to access the system `errno` error number in a
+safe way.  `ctypes` maintains a thread-local copy of the systems
+`errno` variable; if you call foreign functions created with
+`use_errno=True` then the `errno` value before the function call is
+swapped with the ctypes private copy, the same happens immediately
+after the function call.
+
+The function `ctypes.get_errno()` returns the value of the ctypes
+private copy, and the function `ctypes.set_errno(value)` changes the
+ctypes private copy to `value` and returns the former value.
+
+The *use_last_error* parameter, when set to True, enables the same
+mechanism for the Windows error code which is managed by the
+GetLastError() and SetLastError() Windows api functions;
+`ctypes.get_last_error()` and `ctypes.set_last_error(value)` are used
+to request and change the ctypes private copy of the windows error
+code.
