Hey,

There is a missing function doc in `io.IOBase`

```python
import os
help(io.IOBase.writelines)
```

produces output like:
```
Help on method_descriptor:

writelines(self, lines, /)
```

I'll be happy to provide PR for this issue.

Cheers,
Marcin

Verified.  
>>> import io
>>> io.IOBase.writelines.__doc__
>>>

I assume that this can be backported even though it touches .c rather than .rst.
