Summary: hex() and oct() documentation is incorrect

Initial Comment:
The documentation for hex() and oct() in the library
reference currently still says they return unsigned
literals only.

With the progress of int/long unification, they no
longer do this. hex(-1) now returns "-0x1". This is
required so that "eval(hex(-1)) == -1" continues to be
true.
