Small improvements to the documentaion of FnAbi

I have updated the documentation of  `FnAbi`.

The `arg` and `ret` fields are no longer LLVM types, but Rust types(`ArgAbi` contains a `TyAndLayout` and a `PassMode`), so I changed the documentation to reflect that.

Besides that, I also added documentation to other fields, and added a clarification about the differences between `FnAbi` and `FnSig`, since this is not something that is immediately obvious.
