Build updated for upstream libaegis 0.9.0 simplified API with matching changes on Python side. Set lower MacOS build target (11.0). Build abi3 version for all supported Python versions, reducing the number of wheels. Other build cleanup.

- Mac class follows hashlib API: digest functions added and finalization no longer modifies state.
- Encryptor and Decryptor now raise RuntimeError if still used after final.

Documentation updated with the changes and  further examples.

Tests updated with the changes, new test module for error cases (test_raises).

Docstrings improved.

-Safe Python bindings for the AEGIS family of very fast authenticated encryption algorithms (via libaegis).
+Safe Python bindings for the AEGIS family of very fast authenticated encryption algorithms via libaegis. The module runs without compilation required on Windows, Mac and Linux (has precompiled wheels). For other platforms compilation is performed at install time.
+
+AEGIS enables extremely fast Encryption, MAC and CSPRNG - many times faster than AES, ChaCha20 or traditional random number generators. Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data is supported with the MAC derived from the cipher state at the end, making it different from other AEADs like AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305. The whole internal state thus depends on the prior data, and it is neither Encrypt-Then-Mac nor Mac-The-Encrypt scheme when both features are used together.

+## Variants
+
+All submodules expose the same API; pick one for your needs. The 256 bit variants offer maximal security and use larger key and nonce, while the 128 bit variants run slightly faster and use smaller key and nonce while still providing strong security. The MAC length does not depend on the variant. Note that the x2 and x4 variants are typically the fastest (depending on CPU) by utilizing SIMD multi-lane processing for the highest throughput.
