Patch to provide docstrings throughout the msvcrt module.

This is a good idea. I have some comments though:
- the second docstring says "heapmin" when it should describe "locking".
- there are strange characters around "pushed back". Please use only ascii 
characters.
- The body of the docstrings should be split into separate lines. the 
ending ' \' should be replaced by with '\n\' (see Python/sysmodule.c, for 
example)

I fixed up the bodies of the docstrings, removed the weird quotes around
"pushed back" (copy/paste error), and got the heapmin/locking name fixed up.

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Patch looks good, can someone with the ability to test it please commit it?

Committed r77126 in trunk.
I reflowed the text for getch(), so that help(msvcrt) displays nicely in a 
80-chars-wide console (this was my "test")

I was about to merge it into py3k, when I realized that the documentation 
should be updated to match the str/bytes distinction.
Can someone suggest a patch for py3k? (and for Doc/library/msvcrt.rst as 
well)

Here is a patch for py3k. It uses the same contents as before but with
changes to the str/bytes wording on getch_doc, putch_doc, and
ungetch_doc. Includes updates to the msvcrt.rst file. Let me know if the
wording seems correct (or if I left anything out).

I went ahead and added docstrings to the debug-only functions as a bonus.
