Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about

using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").
BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

SF patch #581414 : info reader bug
...
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

the exception type to raise. Available on Windows.
