idle.rst is either wrong or obsolete.  Some options are missing and the notes are not now correct.  I am editing so it matches code and help message in PyShell.py.

I believe there is a mismatch between code and help message with respect to interaction with configuration settings.  But I need to do some tests to be sure.

I should have said what mismatch there might be.  It appears that further editing of idle.rst depends on checking whether there are errors in pyshell.usage_msg, which should be fixed first.

Rather that leave this open indefinitely, I decided to close until a report or research says that more is needed.
