bpo-40636: Clarify the zip built-in docstring. (GH-20118)
Clarify the zip built-in docstring.
This puts much simpler text up front along with an example.
As it was, the zip built-in docstring was technically correct. But too
technical for the reader who shouldn't _need_ to know about `__next__` and
`StopIteration` as most people do not need to understand the internal
implementation details of the iterator protocol in their daily life.
This is a documentation only change, intended to be backported to 3.8; it is
only tangentially related to PEP-618 which might offer new behavior options
in the future.
Wording based a bit more on enumerate per Brandt's suggestion.
This gets rid of the legacy wording paragraph which seems too tied to
implementation details of the iterator protocol which isn't relevant here.
