[New-bugs-announce] [issue43896] Update the Sphinx directive for super from function to class

[Géry]

New submission from Géry <gery.ogam at gmail.com>:

This PR updates the page [*Built-in Functions*](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/functions.html#super) of the Python library documentation: `super` is not a `function` (`isinstance(super, type(lambda: None))` is `False`), it is a `type` (`isinstance(super, type)` is `True`), like `int`, `tuple`, `set`, etc. So it should get the same “class” prefix, i.e.

> **super**([*type*[, *object-or-type*]])

should become

> *class* **super**([*type*[, *object-or-type*]])
