Improve brackted-paste docs

Hello,

Please consider this patch.  (I wasn't able to easily
find any documentation on what files were the source,
so I assumed the GNU conventions and did this from memory.)

Also, the bash man page contains a sub-set of the readline
docs.  Hopefully making changes here is sufficient to
update the bash docs as well.
