Extend divmod() for Multiple Divisors

On the one hand I find this a nice backwards-compatible extension of
divmod().  On the other hand I've coded this use case with separate
divmod() calls and never had any trouble getting it right.  So I think
this doesn't address a real need, and it conflicts with the need to
avoid unnecessary growth of the language.  Explaining it (especially
why it works backward) takes some effort, and I don't want to do that
to all the book authors etc.
