The augmented assignment symbol, like that for plain assignment, is not, properly speaking, an operator.  But it definitely is a symbol that needs to be documented.

1. Generally update the help symbol list.

2. Document :=, assignment expression, in the regular docs, but I found nothing.

':=' should be on https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-Symbols.html just ':(colon)'.

'expression' should be listed under 'assignment on
https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-A.html

I think 'assignment' should be listed under 'expression' on
https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-E.html

I could not find anything in the expressions chapter.
