Merge rev 29592 from 3.3 branch.

Document exclude{min,max}.

The ZODB4 BTrees excludemin/excludemax arguments got implemented
in 3.3, but the corresponding changes to the BTrees interface
file got dropped on the floor.

+------

+The BTrees interface file neglected to document the optional
+``excludemin`` and ``excludemax`` arguments to the ``keys()``, ``values()``
+and ``items()`` methods.  Appropriate changes were merged in from the
+ZODB4 BTrees interface file.
