[docs] [issue21279] str.translate documentation incomplete

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Proposed wording looks superfluously verbose to me.

Look also at description in Include/unicodeobject.h:

/* Translate a string by applying a character mapping table to it and
   return the resulting Unicode object.

   The mapping table must map Unicode ordinal integers to Unicode
   ordinal integers or None (causing deletion of the character).

   Mapping tables may be dictionaries or sequences. Unmapped character
   ordinals (ones which cause a LookupError) are left untouched and
   are copied as-is.

*/

It is repeated (more detailed) in Doc/c-api/unicode.rst. Isn't it pretty clear?
