[docs] [issue11634] misleading comment on PyBytes_FromStringAndSize

[Eli Bendersky]

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

The comment string above the implementation of _PyBytes_FromStringAndSize in Objects/bytesobject.c starts with:

  /*
  For both PyBytes_FromString() and PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(), the
  parameter `size' denotes number of characters to allocate, not 
  counting   any null terminating character.

This is misleading since PyBytes_FromString() has no 'size' parameter. 

The problem also exists for PyString in Python 2.x
