PEP 683 (immortal objects) revealed some ways in which the Python documentation has been unnecessarily coupled to the implementation details of reference counts. In the end users should focus on reference ownership, including taking references and releasing them, rather than on how many reference counts an object has.
This change updates the documentation to reflect that perspective.

Convert the following macros to static inline functions:
* PyByteArray_AS_STRING()
* PyByteArray_GET_SIZE()
* PyBytes_AS_STRING()
* PyBytes_GET_SIZE()
Limited C API version 3.11 no longer casts arguments.
Add _PyBytes_CAST() and _PyByteArray_CAST() macros.
I think that none of these API calls can fail, but only few of them are
documented as such. Add the sentence "This function always succeeds" (which is
the same already used e.g. by PyNumber_Check) to all of them.
