Summary: PyNumber_InPlaceDivide()'s description

Initial Comment:
In Doc/api/abstract.tex on HEAD, line 576 around,
It describes::

  Returns the mathematical of dividing \var{o1} by \var
{o2}, or

but, it appears to be something erratta. Instead,::

  Returns the floor of dividing \var{o1} by \var{o2}, or

would be appropreate.

   \NULL{} on failure.  The operation is done
\emph{in-place} when
   \var{o1} supports it.  This is the equivalent of the Python
   statement \samp{\var{o1} //= \var{o2}}.
