Minor cleanup in the gc module.
Removed gc.DEBUG_OBJECT: there is only one kind of objects. Now gc.DEBUG_COLLECTABLE or gc.DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE can be used alone to print the corresponding list of objects. Also removed a footnote about version 2.2, and a comment explaining some deleted code.

+- Constants gc.DEBUG_OBJECT and gc.DEBUG_INSTANCE have been removed from the

- Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on
"Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example
repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.
