This PR documents the existing convention for representing complex numbers
using scalar floating-point format characters in the struct module.
Specifically, it clarifies that complex numbers may be represented as two
consecutive floating-point values (real part followed by imaginary part),
with the f and d format characters determining the component type.
The clarification is applied consistently to both the runtime docstring
and the library documentation.
