Add more signature information and some descriptions for the new APIs

introduced in Python 2.2.
Add documentation for the slice object interface (not complete).
Added version annotations for several of the Python 2.2 APIs already
documented.

Return a new slice object with the given values. The \var{start},
\var{stop}, and \var{step} parameters are used as the values of the
slice object attributes of the same names. Any of the values may be
\NULL, in which case the \code{None} will be used for the
corresponding attribute. Returns \NULL{} if the new object could
not be allocated.
