[Cython] autodoc function/method signatures

[Dag Sverre Seljebotn]

Help for Lisandro:

Use Interpreter.py (which calls get...value in the right way). Yes, no way for you to know (in fact I wrote it in summer and never told anyone about it...).

If I understand correctly, the context is only used by the parser (it holds symbols defined by DEF I think, but those are expanded during parsing and so there are no such symbols left when you get to it). Anyway it sets up and passes an empty context.
