gh-115986 Improve pprint docs formatting (GH-117401)

* Move pprinter parameters description to the table

The change improves readability.
Suggested in the GH#116085 PR discussion.

* Make pprint doc with params markup

* Fix formatting
Indentation of code blocks made them nested
"Version changed" is better placed after the code block

* Fix formatting for tests

* fix code indentation for autotests

* Fix identation for autotests

* Remove duplication of the parameters' description

* Rearrange parameters description in a correct order

.. function:: pp(object, stream=None, indent=1, width=80, depth=None, *, \
compact=False, sort_dicts=False, underscore_numbers=False)
Prints the formatted representation of *object* followed by a newline.
If *sort_dicts* is false (the default), dictionaries will be displayed with
their keys in insertion order, otherwise the dict keys will be sorted.
*args* and *kwargs* will be passed to :func:`~pprint.pprint` as formatting
parameters.
Prints the formatted representation of *object*, followed by a newline.
This function may be used in the interactive interpreter
instead of the :func:`print` function for inspecting values.
Tip: you can reassign ``print = pprint.pp`` for use within a scope.
:param object:
The object to be printed.
:param stream:
A file-like object to which the output will be written
by calling its :meth:`!write` method.
If ``None`` (the default), :data:`sys.stdout` is used.
:type stream: :term:`file-like object` | None
:param int indent:
The amount of indentation added for each nesting level.
:param int width:
The desired maximum number of characters per line in the output.
If a structure cannot be formatted within the width constraint,
a best effort will be made.
:param depth:
The number of nesting levels which may be printed.
If the data structure being printed is too deep,
the next contained level is replaced by ``...``.
If ``None`` (the default), there is no constraint
on the depth of the objects being formatted.
:type depth: int | None
:param bool compact:
Control the way long :term:`sequences <sequence>` are formatted.
If ``False`` (the default),
each item of a sequence will be formatted on a separate line,
otherwise as many items as will fit within the *width*
will be formatted on each output line.
:param bool sort_dicts:
If ``True``, dictionaries will be formatted with
their keys sorted, otherwise
they will be displayed in insertion order (the default).
:param bool underscore_numbers:
If ``True``,
integers will be formatted with the ``_`` character for a thousands separator,
otherwise underscores are not displayed (the default).

PrettyPrinter Objects
---------------------
This module defines one class:
.. First the implementation class:
.. index:: single: ...; placeholder
.. class:: PrettyPrinter(indent=1, width=80, depth=None, stream=None, *, \
compact=False, sort_dicts=True, underscore_numbers=False)
Construct a :class:`PrettyPrinter` instance. This constructor understands
several keyword parameters.
Construct a :class:`PrettyPrinter` instance.
*stream* (default :data:`!sys.stdout`) is a :term:`file-like object` to
which the output will be written by calling its :meth:`!write` method.
If both *stream* and :data:`!sys.stdout` are ``None``, then
:meth:`~PrettyPrinter.pprint` silently returns.
Other values configure the manner in which nesting of complex data
structures is displayed.
*indent* (default 1) specifies the amount of indentation added for
each nesting level.
*depth* controls the number of nesting levels which may be printed; if
the data structure being printed is too deep, the next contained level
is replaced by ``...``. By default, there is no constraint on the
depth of the objects being formatted.
*width* (default 80) specifies the desired maximum number of characters per
line in the output. If a structure cannot be formatted within the width
constraint, a best effort will be made.
*compact* impacts the way that long sequences (lists, tuples, sets, etc)
are formatted. If *compact* is false (the default) then each item of a
sequence will be formatted on a separate line. If *compact* is true, as
many items as will fit within the *width* will be formatted on each output
line.
If *sort_dicts* is true (the default), dictionaries will be formatted with
their keys sorted, otherwise they will display in insertion order.
If *underscore_numbers* is true, integers will be formatted with the
``_`` character for a thousands separator, otherwise underscores are not
displayed (the default).
.. versionchanged:: 3.4

Arguments have the same meaning as for :func:`~pprint.pp`.
Note that they are in a different order, and that *sort_dicts* defaults to ``True``.
