Fix markup for various binary operation examples where the operands were bolded
...
and the operator was made literal, leading to non-valid reST. Changed to have
the entire expression just be a literal bit of text.

Issue 643841: better documentation of the special method lookup process, especially for new-style classes. Also removes the warnings about not being authoritative for new-style classes - the language reference actually covers those fairly well now (albeit in a fashion that isn't always particularly easy to follow).

Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just
...
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689 .

I hope the concept of hashability is better understandable now.
Thanks to Tim Hatch for pointing out the flaws here.
