Martin Panter bc1ee460dc Issue #25179: Documentation for formatted string literals aka f-strings
Some of the inspiration and wording is taken from the text of PEP 498 by Eric

Martin Panter d5db14794b Issue #25179: Preparatory cleanup of existing docs on string formatting
* Various sections were pointing to the section on the string.Formatter
  class, when the section on the common format string syntax is probably more
  appropriate
* Fix references to various format() functions and methods
* Nested replacement fields may contain conversions and format specifiers,
  and this is tested; see Issue #19729 for instance

Georg Brandl a94ad1e508 Closes #10031: overhaul the "imports" section of the programming FAQ.
Remove the advice to never use relative imports; it is a leftover from 2.x implicit relative imports.
Remove the advice to locally import modules in __init__, it is a strange practice.
Remove the advice to use "from ... import *" with some modules.

R David Murray 12dc0d96e0 #20135: FAQ entry for list mutation. (See also 6375bf34fff6.)
I accidentally committed this in 6375bf34fff6; this changeset addresses the
last review comments on the patch.

This is a perennial question and something someone opens a ticket for probably
every other month or so, so I'm surprised we didn't already have a FAQ entry
for it.

The original patch was written by M. Votz, refined first by Ezio Melotti and
further refined by me.
