Summary: Incorrect docstring on _strptime/LocaleTime

Initial Comment:
In library file _strptime.py, class LocaleTime, the 
docstring is wrong for f_month and a_month.

(1)  They are full and abbreviated *month* names, not 
weekday names.
(2)  They are both lists, but require a length-12 object in 
the constructor.  (Documentation says 13 and 14 item 
lists.)

Change

        f_month -- full weekday names (14-item list; 
dummy value in [0], which
                    is added by code)
        a_month -- abbreviated weekday names (13-item 
list, dummy value in
                    [0], which is added by code)


To

        f_month -- full month names (13-item list; but 
dummy value in [0], is added by code)
        a_month -- abbreviated weekday names (13-item 
list, but dummy value in [0], is added by code)


Technically, this is a 2.2.1 candidate, but as a 
documentation only fix, I selected 2.3
