[issue21670] Add repr to shelve.Shelf

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

When shelve stores its data on a disk, it is more similar to a file. After all, it can contain gigabytes of data, much larger than Python can address in RAM.

I you want more readable repr, I with Raymond, -- use the repr of the underlying db and add readable repr for dbm objects (including file name and open mode).
