Summary: Python C-API for adding int (*getreadbufferproc) is wrong

Details: In all docs, the description for the routine int
(*getreadbufferproc) states that a return value of 0 means success. 
However, in order to get your object to work correctly with the "buffer"
command in Python, this routine needs to return the total size (in bytes)
of the buffer. 

This same problem may also exist for the documentation of int
(*getwritebufferproc).

Greg, you're the lead for the buffer API; can you clarify or correct the
docs as appropriate?  Thanks!
