When help() is called with non-string argument, use __qualname__ or
__name__ if available, otherwise use "{typename} object".

If the Helper() class was initialized with an output, the topics, keywords
and symbols help still use the pager instead of the output.
Change the behavior so the output is used if available while keeping the
previous behavior if no output was configured.

* Class methods no longer have "method of builtins.type instance" note.
* Corresponding notes are now added for class and unbound methods.
* Method and function aliases now have references to the module or the
class where the origin was defined if it differs from the current.
* Bound methods are now listed in the static methods section.
* Methods of builtin classes are now supported as well as methods of
Python classes.
Most important: move how-to-quit sentence to the end and mention 'q'.
Re-group the other sentences and improve some wording.

If the output arg to Helper() is a stream rather than the default None, which means 'page to stdout', the ImportError from pydoc.resolve is currently not caught in pydoc.doc. The same error is caught when output is None.

CVE-2021-3426: Remove the "getfile" feature of the pydoc module which
could be abused to read arbitrary files on the disk (directory
traversal vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python
modules can contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability
reported by David Schwörer.
It no longer serves a purpose (there's only one parser) and having "new" in any name will eventually look odd. Also, it impinges on a potential sub-namespace, `__new_...__`.
bpo-21016, bpo-1294959: The pydoc and trace modules now use the
sysconfig module to get the path to the Python standard library, to
support uncommon installation path like /usr/lib64/python3.9/ on
Fedora.
