5.6.6-RELEASE: Documentation release

This release includes massive inline documentation cleanup which went in parallel with the building of the new XP Framework's documentation website. Most noticeably, there is also the second part RFC #0151 implemented which drops the deprecated lang.reflect.Argument class and its corresponding methods in the reflection API.
Also, this release is probably the most well tested one, as it was preceded by 5 release candidates before being released to the public
