list(), tuple() should not place at "Built-in functions" in documentation

list() and tuple() are in the right place in the documentation because
they would be harder to find if listed elsewhere.   Tools like str(),
int(), list(), tuple() etc tend to be used like functions, so the
current location in the docs is where they have been for years.

A simple fact of documentation that is that tools don't always fall
cleanly into distinct categories.  Accordingly, the Library Reference
includes str,int,list,tuple, etc in both Section 2 for builtin
functions and Section 5 for builtin types.

'nuff said,
