Description
Right now, we have only data type signatures for standard functions from C language. To improve the quality of decompilation of Visual Basic binaries, we will need data type information for its standard functions. Generate JSON databases that can be parsed with `ctypesparser` tool (use `ctypes` type representation).

Research direction
Start by examining the existing C data type signature databases and how the ctypesparser tool consumes them. Generate the corresponding Visual Basic standard-function databases using the ctypes type representation; the work is done when ctypesparser can parse them and RetDec can use the signatures to improve Visual Basic binary decompilation.
