Raymond Hettinger fbcf749479 Add table of idioms/patterns for using Counter objects.
Improve the appearance and flow of the References section -- it used
to have a box around it that wasn't distinct from the preceding code
boxes and it had a weird bolding pattern and hanging indents that
made the section disproportionately large.

Raymond Hettinger aaa6e630f8 Simplify Counter() API. Replace items keyword argument
with a mapping.  Makes Counter() idempotent, makes update()
API the same as Counter.__init__(), makes a more readable
repr, makes the API more dict-like, and allows Steven
Bethard's update() example to work.

Raymond Hettinger ba666a59db Fix-up and clean-up docs for int.bit_length().
* Replace dramatic footnote with in-line comment about possible round-off errors in logarithms of large numbers.
* Add comments to the pure python code equivalent.
* replace floor() with int() in the mathematical equivalent so the type is correct (should be an int, not a float).
* add abs() to the mathematical equivalent so that it matches the previous line that it is supposed to be equivalent to.
* make one combined example with a negative input.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 322656596a Fixed issue #4233.
Changed semantic of _fileio.FileIO's close()  method on file objects with closefd=False.
The file descriptor is still kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file.
The FileIO  object also got a new readonly attribute closefd.
