bpo-39369 Doc: Update mmap readline method documentation (GH-17957)
* Update mmap readline method documentation Update mmap `readline` method description. The fact that the `readline` method does update the file position should not be ignored since this might give the impression for the programmer that it doesn't update it. * 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.
