Use a note:: tag so that these dict and object API deficiencies show up clearly.
A caution:: tag was considered, but our current python docs rendering doesn't do much with that (no box or color change). warning:: seemed too extreme. note looks good.

Fix PyAiter_Check to only check for the `__anext__` presense (not for
`__aiter__`). Rename `PyAiter_Check()` to `PyAIter_Check()`,
`PyObject_GetAiter()` -> `PyObject_GetAIter()`.

For example, fix the following Sphinx 3 errors:
Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:102: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 5]
void \*obj
-----^
Doc/c-api/arg.rst:130: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'PyObject*'
Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 8]
PyObject*
--------^
The modified documentation is compatible with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.
Some of the *SetItem methods in the C API steal a reference to the
given value. This annotates the better behaved ones to assure the
reader that these are not the ones with the inconsistent behaviour.

I'm also adding Petr Viktorin as contributor for vectorcall in the "what's new" section.

Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.

Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
Issue #28838: Rename parameters of the "calls" functions of the Python C API.
* Rename 'callable_object' and 'func' to 'callable': any Python callable object
is accepted, not only Python functions
* Rename 'method' and 'nameid' to 'name' (method name)
* Rename 'o' to 'obj'
* Move, fix and update documentation of PyObject_CallXXX() functions
in abstract.h
* Update also the documentaton of the C API (update parameter names)
Also document that the separate functions that delete objects are preferred;
using PyObject_SetAttr(), _SetAttrString(), and PySequence_SetItem() to
delete is deprecated.
This commit also moves the documentation for the str built-in function to
the new class entry. Links to :class:`str` now go to the class entry with
the string methods immediately afterwards.
