Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there

are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The

Classes can use the same interfaces to control copying that they use
to control pickling: they can define methods called
\method{__getinitargs__()}, \method{__getstate__()} and
\method{__setstate__()}. See the description of module
to control pickling. See the description of module
\refmodule{pickle}\refstmodindex{pickle} for information on these
methods. The \module{copy} module does not use the
\refmodule[copyreg]{copy_reg} registration module.

In order for a class to define its own copy implementation, it can
define special methods \method{__copy__()} and
