Do not promote `None` as the first argument to `filter` in documentation.

If you look in C source for `filter_next`
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5d92647102fac9e116b98ab8bbc632eeed501c34/Python/bltinmodule.c#L593,
there is a line:

int checktrue = lz->func == Py_None || lz->func == (PyObject
*)&PyBool_Type;

So the only difference between `filter(None, ls`) and `filter(bool, ls)` is
LOAD_NAME vs LOAD_CONST and that `None` is checked before than `bool`.
