Misc #13057: BasicObject#__send__ documentation contains references to #send

BasicObject#__send__ docs are equal to Object#send docs. As far as I can see, this happens because documentation for both #send and #__send__ is defined in the same place. Links:

• Source: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/de59178aaf171674a3c2c06cc6271a673a3f9035/vm_eval.c#L957
• Current version of docs: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.3/BasicObject.html#method-i-__send__

Yes, they are aliases.

I see; but BasicObject doesn't have #send method and thus shouldn't reference it in docs, should it?
