[docs] [issue16954] Add docstrings for ElementTree module

[David Lam]

David Lam added the comment:

Here's a patch which converts all the Doxygen comments in ElementTree.py to docstrings!

Something I noticed was that the 

  from _elementtree import *

...at the bottom of ElementTree.py sort of overwrites the docstrings of the Python module.  So if you did...  `from xml.etree import ElementTree;  help(ElementTree)` from the interpreter, you'll see blank spots for a bunch of classes/methods like Element, ParseError, SubElement etc etc

maybe docstrings should be also added in Modules/_elementtree.c?  perhaps that would be too much copy and pastage, hmmm
