Issue #3004: Minor fix to slice.indices(). slice(-10).indices(9) now
returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10)
returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9, 10, -1).

Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Issue #3004: Minor change to slice.indices(): the start and stop
+ arguments are now treated identically, making the behaviour easier
+ to describe and understand. For example, slice(None, -10,
+ 1).indices(9) now returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and
+ slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10) returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9,
+ 10, -1).

- Make bin() implementation parallel oct() and hex().
