Updated the BUGS section. BREAK is now implemented.
Don't document non-bugs in the BUGS section, or anywhere else. It
is not a bug to drop data when overloaded. The compile-time tuning
options turned out to be not very useful, and aren't supported
offically.
Documented the not so new option CY_PCI_FASTINTR.
