[docs] [issue10503] os.getuid() documentation should be clear on what kind of uid it is referring

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Update: I think also os.getlogin() doc is wrong.
This is what it states (2.7 doc):


> Return the name of the user logged in on the controlling terminal of 
> the process. For most purposes, it is more useful to use the 
> environment variable LOGNAME to find out who the user is, or 
> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0] to get the login name of the currently 
> effective user id.

Since os.getuid() refers to _real_ uid the last sentence should be changed as such:

- ... to get the login name of the currently effective user id.
+ ... to get the login name of the currently real user id.
