Use the \setshortversion macro to specify the abbreviated version number.

This partially addresses SourceForge bug #114318.

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.
