Summary: documentation fix for shutil.rmtree

Initial Comment:
The documentation for shutil.rmtree() implies that the
ignore_error parameter causes all errors to be ignored,
when in fact only certain types of errors will be
ignored.  This patch makes the documentation more accurate.

This is a followup to a previous issue, now closed:

   [ 566517 ] fix bug in shutil.rmtree exception case

I agree with gvanrossum's thought that "maybe the docs
could be updated", and here is the update :-).

The attached patch is against the head of CVS.
