[issue12299] Stop documenting functions added by site as builtins

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

I find it harmful that exit, quit and help are documented in library/functions instead of library/constants (under the section “constants added by the site module”).  It leads people to use unqualified help or exit instead of pydoc.help or sys.exit, and that would break under -S.  I’d like to move the doc for these functions (and add a link from l/functions to l/constants).
