Summary: Improve docs for builtin filter()

Initial Comment:
The current (r47237) docs for the filter() builtin say
"If list is a string or a tuple, the result also has
that type". On first reading, it's unclear if "string"
means "str" or "str and unicode". The attached patch
for Doc/lib/libfuncs.tex makes this clear.

The docs also state (misleadingly) that "all elements of
list that are false (zero or empty) are removed". The patch
has been updated to remove the "(zero or empty)" remark.
