Summary: chr, ord, unichr documentation updates

Initial Comment:
The attached diff may be applied against v1.175 of
libfuncs.tex --
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib/libfuncs.tex?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.175


chr(): A str is not in any particular encoding, so
don't talk about ASCII, which does not apply to
arguments > 127 anyway. Also make reference to unichr().

ord(): A str is not in any particular encoding, so
don't talk about ASCII. Describe what the return value
represents for each type of string (str, unicode), and
mention the TypeError that will be raised on narrow
unicode builds of Python.

unichr(): Mention the restrictions on the argument
depending on whether Python was built with wide or
narrow unicode.

The precedent in unicode() is to refer to str objects
as "8-bit strings", so the wording of the above changes
was chosen accordingly.
