Guido van Rossum 0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the 
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.
