New description:

 This is a documentation-only patch, other than some minor whitespace
 clean-up in the code.  It brings the documentation of the `vector()`
 constructor in line with the code.  Specifically the handling of integer
 arguments (degree), the absence of entries (creating zero vectors), and
 some subtleties with dictionary input.

 It suggests some code changes: negative integer arguments, more care with
 dictionary input, and a new `zero_vector()` constructor, which will go on
 another ticket (see #10364).
