[docs] [issue17091] thread.lock.acquire docstring bug

Armin Rigo report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Armin Rigo:

The docstring of thread.lock.acquire() (or _thread on Python 3) is bogus: it says that if called without argument, the return value is None; it is only if called with a "blocking" argument that it returns True or False.  But since a long time it was always returning a boolean, never None.
