[docs] [issue33121] recv returning 0 on closed connection not documented

[joders]

New submission from joders <jona.enders at yahoo.com>:

The "Linux Programmer's Manual" states:

When a stream socket peer has performed an orderly shutdown, the return value will be 0 (the traditional "end-of-file" return).

I find that information pretty important which is why I am asking if you might want to add it to the python documentation as well. It would have prevented a bug in my code.
