Summary: Incorrect documentation for InPlace Number operators

Initial Comment:
The documentation for the various InPlace abstract
number operators (PyNumber_InPlaceSubtract, etc.)
specify that the functions return a new reference. 
Unless I'm mistaken, this is incorrect.  The functions
do not increment increment the reference counter.

Actually, they do.  Arithmetic operations create new number
objects.
