[docs] [issue16304] re: Match Objects always have a boolean value of True

[Vladimir Rutsky]

New submission from Vladimir Rutsky:

re module documentation says:

 Match Objects always have a boolean value of :const:`True`, so that you can test
   whether e.g. :func:`match` resulted in a match with a simple if statement.

which is confusing - matched objects have boolean value True, doesn't matched - False.
