Subject: 27.1; please fix misleading documentation for assoc-delete-all

Hi,

assoc-delete-all was introduced in emacs 26.2, however,
describe-function says "Probably introduced at or before Emacs
version 21.1.". Please fix this to report the right version
number where assoc-delete-all was introduced. With this kind of
misleading information, it is very difficult to write code that
is backward compatible to a number of different emacs major
versions.

Thanks,

Hendrik
