Error registering CU with 64b arguments

[quetric]

• PYNQ version: 2.7
• Board name: Alveo U280
• XRT version: 2.13.399
• Description: When getting a handle to a CU with 64b unsigned int arguments, pynq fails with KeyError: 'unsigned long long' in _create_call of overlay.py. The error can be worked around by adding 'unsigned long long': 'Q', to the _struct_dict.

For completeness, let me add the full trace

We may need to review the datatypes in the _struct_dict https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ/blob/master/pynq/overlay.py#L561-L581

As some of them seem not to be correct C datatypes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types. For instance, 'long long unsigned int': 'Q' should be 'unsigned long long': 'Q' which is your case.
