gh-77607: Improve accuracy of os.path.join docs (#101406)
This is a follow-up to #100811.

One of the changes in that PR isn't accurate in that
`os.path.join('', '')` will not end in a separator.

This reverts that change to the previous wording that used "only", but
explicitly calls out the case where the last part ends in a separator,
which is what caused confusin in #77607 and motivated the change
in #100811.

gh-100783: fix os.path.join documentation (#100811)
- Use "drive", not "drive letter", because of UNC paths
- Previous components are not thrown away from relative drive letters
- Use "segment" instead of "component" for consistency with pathlib
- Other miscellaneous improvements

gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS (GH-95527)
If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can
be used directly without changes in readability and behavior.
It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack.

This change does not affect Python examples.

bpo-39899: os.path.expanduser(): don't guess other Windows users' home directories if the basename of the current user's home directory doesn't match their username. (GH-18841)
This makes `ntpath.expanduser()` match `pathlib.Path.expanduser()` in this regard, and is more in line with `posixpath.expanduser()`'s cautious approach.

Also remove the near-duplicate implementation of `expanduser()` in pathlib, and by doing so fix a bug where KeyError could be raised when expanding another user's home directory.

Makdon 95492032c4 bpo-6689: os.path.commonpath raises ValueError for different drives isn't documented (GH-14045)
It would raise ValueError("Paths don't have the same drive") if the paths on different drivers, which is not documented.


os.path.commonpath raises ValueError when the *paths* are in different drivers, but it is not documented.
Update the document according @Windsooon 's suggestion.
It actually raise ValueError according line 355 of [test of path](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/test_ntpath.py)

bpo-33721: Make some os.path functions and pathlib.Path methods be tolerant to invalid paths. (#7695)
Such functions as os.path.exists(), os.path.lexists(), os.path.isdir(),
os.path.isfile(), os.path.islink(), and os.path.ismount() now return False
instead of raising ValueError or its subclasses UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeDecodeError for paths that contain characters or bytes
unrepresentative at the OS level.
