Summary: pydoc vs data docstrings

Initial Comment:
As of today, *some* kinds of descr-based data 
attributes can (and do) have docstrings (like 
complex.imag, although not 6j.imag).  Of course pydoc 
doesn't know that's possible, so they never get 
displayed now.  They should.

pydoc now displays data docstrings when it can.  The 
implementation of property() was also changed so that a 
docstring can be given to a property (this wasn't possible 
before); pydoc was also changed to display the new property 
docstrings (when non-None).
