bug#65771: 29.1; yank-pop behaviour description in info

[Daniel Vianna <dmlvianna@gmail.com>]

Started emacs with `emacs -Q`
 C-h i, then browsed to Emacs Intro Tutorial, 10.3 Exercises with Yank and
nthcdr

I believe the behaviour of `yank-pop` (M-y) changed from the behaviour
described
in the tutorial. It gives options for autocompletion rather than cycling
the values within
the `kill-ring` variable. It would be desirable to rewrite that exercise to
reflect the actual
behaviour of the emacs interface.

Of further interest is that `kill-ring` now stores more than just the
strings, but also
many font properties. I believe this should be noted in the tutorial, so it
doesn't confuse
readers.

Cheers, Daniel.
