[issue34450] improve shutil.make_archive

I'll have to think through this a bit more, but my gut is that it would be much more favorable for backwards-compatibility to clarify the documentation instead of changing the functionality.

In any case, the change would only take effect in 3.8+, so it sounds like a backported documentation update is surely needed.

Thanks for the thorough report! :)
