Correct documentation to match implementation: "Class" instead of

"class_descriptor", "Function" instead of "function_descriptor".  Note
default path value for readmodule*.  Wrap some long paragraphs.  Don't
mention 'inpackage' which isn't part of the public API.

The :mod:`pyclbr` can be used to determine some limited information about the
classes, methods and top-level functions defined in a module. The information
provided is sufficient to implement a traditional three-pane class browser. The
information is extracted from the source code rather than by importing the
module, so this module is safe to use with untrusted source code. This
restriction makes it impossible to use this module with modules not implemented
in Python, including many standard and optional extension modules.

.. function:: readmodule(module[, path])
.. function:: readmodule(module[, path=None])
Read a module and return a dictionary mapping class names to class descriptor
objects. The parameter *module* should be the name of a module as a string;
it may be the name of a module within a package. The *path* parameter should
be a sequence, and is used to augment the value of ``sys.path``, which is
used to locate module source code.

Like :func:`readmodule`, but the returned dictionary, in addition to mapping
class names to class descriptor objects, also maps top-level function names to
function descriptor objects. Moreover, if the module being read is a package,
the key ``'__path__'`` in the returned dictionary has as its value a list which
contains the package search path.
