Two special methods, __buffer__ and __release_buffer__ were added to
Python 3.12 by PEP 688. The C API Type Object documentation for slots
includes `tp_as_buffer`, and sub-slots `bf_getbuffer`, `bf_releasebuffer`
but does not refer to the Python Data Model version of those. Add the
missing references.

gh-131117: Update tp_finalize example to use PyErr_GetRaisedException (GH-131118)
The tp_finalize C API doc used PyErr_Fetch() and PyErr_Restore() in
its example code. That API was deprecated in 3.12.
Update to point to the suggested replacement function
PyErr_GetRaisedException() which has a sample usage.

- 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
- suggest Py_SIZE & Py_SET_SIZE
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.

gh-46236: Document PyUnicode_RSplit, PyUnicode_Partition and PyUnicode_RPartition (GH-130191)

We had the definition of what makes a character "printable" documented in three places, giving two different definitions.
The definition in the comment on `_PyUnicode_IsPrintable` was inverted; correct that.
With that correction, the two definitions turn out to be equivalent -- but to confirm that, you have to go look up, or happen to know, that those are the only five "Other" categories and only three "Separator" categories in the Unicode character database. That makes it hard for the reader to tell whether they really are the same, or if there's some subtle difference in the intended semantics.
Fix that by cutting the C API docs' and the C comment's copies of the subtle details, in favor of referring to the Python-level docs. That ensures it's explicit that these are all meant to agree, and also lets us concentrate improvements to the wording in one place.
Speaking of which, borrow some ideas from the C comment, along with other tweaks, to hopefully add a bit more clarity to that one newly-centralized copy in the docs.
Also add a thorough test that the implementation agrees with this definition.
