[issue39452] Improve the __main__ module documentation

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Thanks, the rewrite is great!

I have one nit: did you consider which of these two idioms is better?

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

vs.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

Your docs seem to promote the second, whereas I've usually preferred the former. Was this a considered choice on your part?
