[docs] [issue32573] All sys attributes (.argv, ...) should exist in embedded environments

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Pedro: David and Nick are proposing initializing sys.argv to [] rather than [''] for embedded interpreters.  This would say 'running embedded'.  The .argv entry would need an additional sentence.

I like Nick's proposal, except that _xoptions should be {}.  Documenting absence should only be a fallback is there is no sensible default.
