>Summary: Better description in "python -h" for -u

Initial Comment:
A new user was confused by the fact that "python -u"
in combination with "sys.stdin.xreadlines()" was not
doing what he expects.  I believe that this
modification makes it a bit more clear that there is
internal buffering which "-u" does not influence.

Also included is a man-page modification of similar
nature (though more detailed).

Ok, I've converted it to a single line note referencing the
man-page.

I dislike the change to add many new lines to the -h output.
Can you squeeze this into one less line, e.g. by referring
to the documentation?
