[docs] [issue9264] trace.py documentation is incomplete

Eli Bendersky report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com>:

The documentation of the standard 'trace' module (Doc/library/trace.rst) is sorely lacking. Arguments are not explained, some key methods are not documented at all, and the CoverageResults class isn't documented.

Usage of these appears in the example but leaves the user confused as the only source of documentation for the example is the source code of the module.

I'm attaching a patch that fixes this issue, by providing documentation for the missing parts.

The patch was generated vs. the latest SVN trunk.
