bpo-45250: fix docs regarding `__iter__` and iterators being inconsistently required by CPython (GH-29170)
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.

[doc] Leverage the fact that the actual types can now be indexed for typing (GH-22340)
This shows users that they can use the actual types. Using deprecated types is confusing.

This also prefers colections.abc.Sized instead of the alias typing.Sized. I guess the aliases were created to make it convenient to import all collections related types from the same place.

This should be backported to 3.9.
