[issue26597] Document how to cite Python

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Either a new page under 'Meta' or combined with 'Copyright'.

For future reference, sys has multiple information constants and functions.  Indeed, 'copyright' is an alias for sys.copyright, added by the site module.  Sys would, I think, be the best place to put a citation() function, should you propose one.  It would then be indexed, but not intrusive on startup.
