bug#56635: 29.0.50; [PATCH] hide-show in python-mode supports ONLY function and class blocks

[Dima Kogan]

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. After a big more dogfooding,
I've a small tweak to the first piece of the patch:

So (python-hideshow-forward-sexp-function) should call
(python-nav-end-of-block) and do nothing else. I think the extra
(backward-char) stuff was intended to handle the closing brace of the
block, which doesn't exist in Python. If you leave the (backward-char)
stuff there, the collapsed blocks still display the last character in
the block, which in Python has no special syntactical meaning.
