Clarify how Rect and positions relate in the intro tutorial #3111

The introduction to PyGame tutorial is a bit confusing for very beginners about the Rect object.

I think for beginners talking about a rectangular area it sounds like a rectangle will be printed on the screen. I think it's better to be more specific and mention that rectangular areas are the way to manage an object position.

I slightly tweaked the updated wording to hopefully more clearly express what rects are and the multiple ways to position blits.
