Summary: short patch to buffer() documentation

Initial Comment:
The documentation incorrectly states that objects 
returned from the buffer() builtin do not support 
concatenation or repeating.  I don't have an old 
version of Python at my disposal, but it appears from 
CVS that they do support concatenation and repeating 
since version 1.6.

Fixed in Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex revisions 1.90, 1.80.6.7,
and 1.52.4.5.  Documentation for versions prior to 2.1.x is
not being maintained.

Just checked Python 1.5.2 on a Linux box at work.  The 
value returned from buffer() has supported repeat/concat 
for since at least 1.5.2.
