bpo-46502: Remove "How do I tell incomplete input" from FAQ (GH-30925)
Since,

- Py_CompileString no longer allows to distinguish "incomplete input"
  from "invalid input"
- there is no alternative solution available from the Python C API
  due to how the new parser works (rewritten in 3.9)
- the only supported way is to manually import the codeop module from C
  and use its API as IDLE does, and accept its own complications

it is desirable to remove this Q&A from the official FAQ.

bpo-40939: Remove documentation for `PyParser_*` & add porting notes (GH-26855)
I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

3.1 end of support was April 2012 and 2.6 was October 2013, so that hasn't been need for supported versions of Python for more than 5 years. Beside not being needed anymore for a long time, when I read it with the eyes of a Python profane, it makes Python looks bad, like a language from the parts with warts you need to circumvent.
Let's delete that :)

Victor Stinner 2b501866ed Travis CI: run rstlint.py in the docs job (#68)
Currently, http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/ware-docs
buildbot is only run as post-commit. For example, bpo-29521 (PR#41)
introduced two warnings, unnotified by the Travis CI docs job.

Modify the docs job to run toosl/rstlint.py.

Fix also the two minor warnings which causes the buildbot slave to
fail.
