Summary: Fix for former/latter confusion in Extending documentation

Initial Comment:
Section 1.10 ("Reference Counts" in Extending Python) 
has this:
"In C++, the operators new and delete are used with 
essentially the same meaning and we'll restrict the 
following discussion to the latter."

However, the following discussion uses malloc() and free
() (i.e. "the former"), not new and delete.  Either this 
should be corrected to say "the former" (as with the 
attached one line patch), or the whole section should be 
corrected to use new and delete.
