Petr Viktorin d7f0214f13 gh-140550: PEP 793 reference documentation (GH-141197)
* gh-140550: PEP 793 reference documentation

Since the PEP calls for soft-deprecation of the existing initialization
function, this reorganizes the relevant docs to put the new way of
doing things first, and de-emphasize the old.

Some bits, like the tutorial, are left out of this patch. (See the
issue for a list.)

Petr Viktorin 01ea4c77e5 gh-123909: Remove obsolete note in PyType_FromMetaclass docs (GH-131506)
Docs of the other `PyType_From*` functions link to `PyType_FromMetaclass`,
which noted that they differ for backwards compatibility reasons.
The note is no longer relevant in 3.14.
The other functions have `versionchanged` blurbs.

Petr Viktorin ad0f618ab3 gh-129675: Update documentation for tp_basicsize & tp_itemsize (#129850)
* Update documentation for tp_basicsize & tp_itemsize

- Add alignment requirement
- Mention that ob_size is unreliable if you don't control it
- Add some links for context
- basicsize should include the base type in generaly not just PyObject

This adds a “by-the-way” link to `PyObject_New`, which shouldn't be
used for GC types. In order to be comfortable linking to it, I also
add a link to `PyObject_GC_New` from its docs. And the same for
`*Var` variants, while I'm here.

* Strongly suggest Py_SIZE & Py_SET_SIZE

- Add a note to PyMemberDef saying what to do with it

function will be called as is done in `tp_new` for classes
created in Python.

Wenzel Jakob 5e34b494a0 gh-60074: add new stable API function PyType_FromMetaclass (GH-93012)
Added a new stable API function ``PyType_FromMetaclass``, which mirrors
the behavior of ``PyType_FromModuleAndSpec`` except that it takes an
additional metaclass argument. This is, e.g., useful for language
binding tools that need to store additional information in the type
object.
