Fix now-wrong :keyword: markup. Remove the section about

"exec without namespace" from the "don't" howto since exec()
can't overwrite names in the calling namespace anymore.

-Unadorned :keyword:`exec` and friends
--------------------------------------
-
-The word "unadorned" refers to the use without an explicit dictionary, in which
-case those constructs evaluate code in the *current* environment. This is
-dangerous for the same reasons ``from import *`` is dangerous --- it might step
-over variables you are counting on and mess up things for the rest of your code.
-Simply do not do that.

-Bad examples::
-
-   >>> for name in sys.argv[1:]:
-   >>>     exec "%s=1" % name
-   >>> def func(s, **kw):
-   >>>     for var, val in kw.items():
-   >>>         exec "s.%s=val" % var  # invalid!
