[docs] [issue33130] functools.reduce signature/docstring discordance

Vince Reuter report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Vince Reuter <vince.reuter at gmail.com>:

The signature for functools.reduce correctly refers to the collection parameter as an iterable, but the docstring refers to it as "sequence," which the input need not be and does not match the parameter name despite being italicized.
