New submission from Tim Hoffmann <tim.hoffm...@posteo.de>:

When trying to update a docstring of a CPython builtin, I had problems finding 
out what Argument Clinic actually does.

First, I looked at the devguide, which does only mention that the clinic 
exists, but not what it does or how it's used.

Next, I tried "clinic.py --help". This unfortunately doesn't tell anything 
about itself.

The actual clinic doc is at https://docs.python.org/3/howto/clinic.html

To make the clinic a bit more discoverable, I propose a description including 
the link to clinic.py (see github #8518).
