[docs] [issue22785] range docstring is less useful than in python 2

[Ned Batchelder]

Ned Batchelder added the comment:

(By the time I got to the source, the word "virtual" had been removed...)

Attached is a patch to make the help read:

 |  range(stop) -> range object
 |  range(start, stop[, step]) -> range object
 |
 |  Return an object that produces a sequence of integers from start (inclusive)
 |  to stop (exclusive) by step.  range(i, j) produces i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1.
 |  start defaults to 0, and stop is omitted!  range(4) produces 0, 1, 2, 3.
 |  These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements.
 |  When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement).
