[issue47153] __doc__ should generally be writable

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou :

The __doc__ attribute of several object types is not writable: notably 
descriptors (method/member/getset), as well builtin methods.

This is annoying when wanting to generate docstrings for these objects 
dynamically. While it's not useful for regular Python code, it comes up when 
using Cython, which uses these types to implement the methods and properties of 
"cdef" classes.
