[docs] [issue5416] str.replace does strange things when given a negative count

[Senthil Kumaran]

Reverted the changes in r84626 (release27-maint), r84629(py3k), r84630 (release31-maint).

- Minor doc clarification included wherein maxreplace is the argument instead of maxsplit in py27.

- Also, did not bother to remove -1 in maxreplace. It is used as sentinel value for an optional argument. As it is not explicitly documented, the negative value for arg should not be relied upon.
