Summary: warn about portability issue

Initial Comment:
It's conceivable that there is a platform with
memory-protected pages smaller than 4 KB, and in that
case if someone called PyObject_Free(p), where p
pointed to an address towards the beginning of a page,
the interpreter might incur a segment fault.  This
patch fixes the in-line docs so that it no longer
incorrectly asserts that "It doesn't matter if this
value is different from the native page size.".
