Summary: Explain buffering effects of xreadlines

Initial Comment:
A new user today was confused by the fact that calling
python with "-u" to unbuffer stdin was not having any
noticable effects when doing:

   for i in sys.stdin.xreadlines(): print i

This patch adds a description to the xreadlines()
method of the xreadlines module documentation which
mentions this problem.  It seems the user would have
been happy with at least being able to find something
in the documentation saying that it would happen...
