[issue1771] Remove cmp parameter to list.sort() and builtin.sorted()

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Python's sort implementation is carefully written to only use the "<" 
comparison, ever.  So a cmp really isn't the most natural way to specify 
a comparison.  (This should really be documented somewhere -- I know know 
it because Tim Peters & I shared an office while he did most of the work 
on Python's sort.)
