[doc] Fix erroneous backslashes in signatures and names (GH-23658)
The issue being resolved is shown in the 3.10 docs (if you select docs for older versions you won't see a visual glitch).

The newer sphinx version that produces the 3.10 docs doesn't treat the backslash to escape things in some situations it previously did.

Clarify U-mode deprecation in open() (GH-11646)
The previous wording could be read as saying that universal
newlines mode itself was deprecated, when it's only the 'U'
character in the mode field that should be avoided.

The update also moves the description of the 'U' mode character
out of the mode table, as the longer explanation was overly
intrusive as a table entry and overshadowed the actually useful
mode characters.
