[docs] list.index documentation missing start and stop arguments (issue 28587)

Message:
Thanks to Mariatta for the patch, which addresses the issue, so I think
it can be applied to the Python 3 and 2 documentation. One point, I do
not know when the start and stop arguments were added to list.count (or
if they always existed). I have only tested them in Python2.7 and
Python3.5.
