62364ffb80 - apply SF patch #700798: fixes and cleanups for descriptor info

2ab1d08f90 I thought it was common practice to check things compiled before
checking them in?  Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does).  I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.

cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

5b21df4a5c Repaired inaccuracies in the % docs. In particular, we don't (and can't)
guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.

Bugfix candidate.  Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.

f0d777c56b A few days ago, Guido said (in the thread "[Python-Dev] Python
version of PySlice_GetIndicesEx"):

> OK.  Michael, if you want to check in indices(), go ahead.

Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in.  Here it is.

actually allows all the legal syntax, and nothing else.  Previously,
it did not allow a call like func(arg, **dictionary).
