[docs] [issue27720] decimal.Context.to_eng_string wrong docstring

[Antti Haapala]

New submission from Antti Haapala:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#decimal.Context.to_eng_string

The docstring for `Context.to_eng_string` says "Converts a number to a string, using scientific notation.", which is, less extra comma, exactly the docstring for `Context.to_sci_string`. It should probably say "using engineering notation".

Additionally, docstring for Decimal.to_eng_string uses the term "an engineering-type string", which no one uses outside the said docstring. It should probably also say "Convert to a string using engineering notation."
