Backport36 doc fixes: PR#68 and PR#124 (#125)
 
* Travis CI: run rstlint.py in the docs job (#68)

Currently, http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/ware-docs
buildbot is only run as post-commit. For example, bpo-29521 (PR#41)
introduced two warnings, unnotified by the Travis CI docs job.

Modify the docs job to run toosl/rstlint.py.

Fix also the two minor warnings which causes the buildbot slave to
fail.
(cherry picked from commit 2b501866ed493758e4c4b29f0ce9b24023d910a1)

* Doc/Makefile: set PYTHON to python3 (#124)

rstlint.py run by "make check" doesn't support Python 2.

"make venv" runs "$(PYTHON) -m venv", whereas Python 2 doens't
provide the venv module: it's a module of Python 3 standard library.

(cherry picked from commit 91b0e7d0ca7c59df28f6a6fc1e8eb86a3925b76c)

README.coverity 

Coverity has a static analysis tool (Prevent) which is similar to Klocwork.
They run their tool on the Python source code (SVN head) on a daily basis.
The results are available at:

     http://scan.coverity.com/

About 20 people have access to the analysis reports.  Other
people can be added by request.

Prevent was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in March 2006.
There were originally about 100 defects reported.  Some of these
were false positives.  Over 70 issues were uncovered.

Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it.
When checking in changes due to a warning, the unique id
as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message.

False positives were annotated so that the comments can
be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect.

Contact python-dev@python.org for more information.
