bpo-35087: Update idlelib help files for the current doc build. (GH-10162)
There is only one trivial change to idle.rst. Nearly all the changes to help.html are the elimination of chapter and section numbers on headers due to changes in the build system. help.py no longer requires header numbering.

Terry Jan Reedy ff70289002 bpo-314777: IDLE - improve rstrip entry in doc (#3602)
'Strip trailing whitespace' is not limited to spaces.  Wording caters to beginners who
do know know the meaning of 'whitespace'.  Multiline string literals are not skipped.

* News blurb.

Terry Jan Reedy f8cd02dcda Rebase the 3.x version of idlelib/help.html on the 3.5 version of
Doc/build/html/library/idle.html, which is built from Doc/library/idle.rst.
Help.html is an rstrip()ed copy of idle.html that can be pushed.

The displayed content is unchanged because a) the version number is not
displayed, being inherent in the version displaying the file and b) the tt
tag was ignored by the custom parser in idlelib/help.py.  The wrapped
<span class="pre"> tags remain as they were.

This will be merged in 3.6 (without conflict) because the 3.6 help.html is
a copy of the 3.5 file (which was a copy of the 3.4 file).  The two files will
remain the same until either a) there is a content change that only applies
to one of them or b) 3.5 maintenance ends and the 3.6 file is itself rebased.

Terry Jan Reedy d470527aec Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and
curious users.  The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc and is
