Fixed errors and inconsistencies in CBV topic documentation.

The code examples should now work correctly.
The `get_context_data` method in the examples was changed when
necessary to adopt a singular style (get context with super(...),
add the extra keys to the dict then return it).

Thanks to Remco Wendt for the initial report and to Tim Graham
for the review.
