Created GH-16147 for replacing the *from_what* argument with *whence* in the IO 
tutorial. 

I would like to consider following up on this with another PR that adds the IO 
constants `SEEK_SET`, `SEEK_CUR`, and `SEEK_END` to the tutorial. Those 
constants would be particularly useful for new users of the language, and would 
likely make the tutorial easier to understand for those who don't have prior 
experience with using `seek()`.

However, I figured that replacing *from_what* with *whence* would be 
significantly less controversial and easier to review, which is why they will 
be in separate PRs.
