On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it

instead of raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The

#440487 .

First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,
...
could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.
Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff! You both need to proof this.

PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(),
PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL().
Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers
not being initialized.
This fixes SF bug #439012 .
Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().
Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and
PyLong_AsUnignedLong().
This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037 .
Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.
Document _Py_NoneStruct.
Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.
Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
