[New-bugs-announce] [issue14783] Update int() docstring from manual

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

int.__doc__ starts "int(x[, base]) -> integer". That is not exactly correct as x is not required and base is only allowed if x is a string. The 3.3 manual fixes both problems with "int([number | string[, base]])"

I actually think the rest of the docstring might be replaced with the more accurate and informative manual entry. It might be condensed, but I am not sure what might be omitted.
