[Biopython] Back translation from Protein to RNA sequence

The documentation of the Seq object nicely shows how to

1) transcribe DNA -> RNA,
2) back transcribe RNA -> DNA, and
3) translate RNA -> protein.

If priorities allow, I would appreciate the expansion of the documentation
with one example of

4) back translation protein -> most_probable_RNA.

The result of that operation is species-dependent and worth documenting if
the functionality already exists.

Thank you,

Ivan
