The documentation for this module was dated and sometimes inaccurate. This overhauls the docs to accurately describe the current module, including detailing optional arguments that were not previously explained - e.g., limit argument to extract(). This change follows the Google Python Style Guide, which may be found at: <https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html?showone=Comments#Comments>

Previously, process.extract expected lists or dictionaries, and tested
this with isinstance() calls. In keeping with the spirit of Python (duck
typing and all that), this change enables one to use extract() on any
dict-like object for dict-like results, or any list-like object for
list-like results.
So now we can (and, indeed, I've added tests for these uses) call
extract() on things like:
- a generator of strings ("any iterable")
- a UserDict
- custom user-made classes that "look like" dicts
(or, really, anything with a .items() method that behaves like a dict)
- plain old lists and dicts
The behavior is exactly the same for previous use cases of
lists-and-dicts.
This change goes along nicely with PR seatgeek#68, since those docs suggest
dict-like behavior is valid, and this change makes that true.
