Summary: array.insert and negative indices

Initial Comment:
2.3b1 changed list.insert() so that negative indices
are treated as being relative to the end of the list,
but array.array.insert() still treats all negative
indices as 0:

>>> import array
>>> a = array.array("c", "spam")
>>> a.insert(-1, "x")
>>> a
array('c', 'xspam')

Good point!  I've attached the right patch.  If someone else 
can make time to write a test/docs/NEWS, I'd appreciate it.
