[docs] [issue29956] math.exp documentation is misleading

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This is the original issue, it isn't invented by me. ``math.e`` is the nearest
representable value to the mathematical constant *e* and ``math.exp(x)`` is 
the nearest representable value to the mathematical constant *e* raised to the 
power *x*, but not the nearest representable value to ``math.e`` raised to the 
power *x*.
