Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not

mutable! We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805 .
Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap(). Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index. The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible. This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.

A few small changes:
...
- Change PREFIX to PREFIXES, which contains a sequence of prefix strings.
This is useful since we want to look for both Py and PY.
- Wrap a long line.
- Collect struct tags as well as typedef names. Since we generally only
use one of the other, that improves coverage.
- Make the script executable on Unix.
This could use a better approach to determine if a symbol is documented,
and could easily avoid keeping the massive string in memory. That would
take time to actually write more code, though, so we'll bail on that
for now.
