Jennifer Taylor 64ff2b1996 Better repr for partial configuration.
This adds a __repr__ to various types in the parser config, so that the
generated documentation for functions using these types renders easier
to read.

Parsing
=======
The parser functions accept source code and an optional configuration object,
and will generate :class:`~libcst.CSTNode` objects.
:func:`~libcst.parse_module` is the most useful function here, since it accepts
the entire contents of a file and returns a new tree, but
:func:`~libcst.parse_expression` and :func:`~libcst.parse_statement` are useful
when inserting new nodes into the tree, because they're easier to use than the
equivalent node constructors.
>>> import libcst as cst
>>> cst.parse_expression("1 + 2")
