DOC - partial rewrite of fused types doc

Ignore byte compiled elisp modules in the repository.

* When cython.git is included as a submodule in an
  Emacs configuration to load cython-mode.el and is
  byte-compiled, it generates an .elc file which causes
  the submodule to appear dirty unnecessarily in the parent
  git repository. Adding this rule will avoid dirty submodules.
