dictnotes.txt is out of date w.r.t. dictobject.c

Remove notes from dictnotes.txt that duplicate comments in dictobject.c
and ensure comments in dictobject.c cover all aspects of tunable parameters.

Patch attached.

Mark, where was it approved that you could change all the tunable parameters?  I remembered that the split dict was approved but not changing all of the tuneables (at one point, I had spent a month validating that the tuneables were correct across a wide variety of applications).

Raymond,

I don't think this is the place to discuss the changes to the tunables in dictobject.c.

This patch merely ensures that dictnotes.txt and the comments in dictobject.c are in agreement. It doesn't change any code (apart from creating the GROWTH_RATE macro for clarity).

Is there any reason not to commit this patch?
The docs are out of sync with the code and need to be updated.
