[issue36769] doc Document that fnmatch.filter supports any kind of iterable not just lists

[Andrés Delfino]

New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelfino at gmail.com>:

Documentation on fnmatch.filter says:

Return the subset of the list of names that match pattern. It is the same as [n for n in names if fnmatch(n, pattern)], but implemented more efficiently.

But the function actual accepts any kind of iterable. I think it should be documented.
