[New-bugs-announce] [issue15979] Improve timeit documentation

[Ezio Melotti]

New submission from Ezio Melotti:

The documentation of timeit can be improved in several ways:
 * it should start with a couple of short and comprehensible examples that show the basic usage from the command-line and from the code;
 * the 3 convenience functions should be moved before the class documentation (and their order inverted);
 * the methods in the class should be reordered to show the important one first;
 * more comprehensive (but still comprehensible) examples should be added at the end;
 * sh syntax highlight should be used for the command-line usage examples;
 * the note about Python 2.3 can be removed from 3.x docs;
