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__`.

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.

csabella c6db4811f9 bpo-30052: Link `bytes` & `bytearray` to stdtypes not functions (GH-1271)
Builtin container types have two potential link targets in the docs:

- their entry in the list of builtin callables
- their type documentation

This change brings `bytes` and `bytearray` into line with other
container types by having cross-references default to linking to
their type documentation, rather than their builtin callable entry.
