Adding reverse method for strings

Broke format because I am not sure this will even be accepted and it is a draft at this point, so didn't want to have this and an issue open. Nevertheless, this is an attempt to add a .reverse() method for strings. I think most modern languages should have something like that and [::-1] is a bit archaic with little charm.

It is a draft because I haven't gotten it working and am looking for what I may have missed!

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

Sorry, there's a process we have to follow for features, especially for changes to builtins:

• Bring this up on DPO first--this is to weed out bad ideas, or ones that lack motivation from the author.
• If all goes well over there (which is difficult), you would normally create an issue, but changes to builtins require PEPs.
• If you get a PEP written (which requires a core dev sponsor), you can send it to the SC and if they approve it, you can create an issue.
• Only then, after all that process, you can make a PR.

@ZeroIntensity thanks for that! Looks like i misinterpreted the devguide and missed this section! I will make an attempt in the ideas section there
