gh-98154: Clarify Usage of "Reference Count" In the Docs (gh-107552)
PEP 683 (immortal objects) revealed some ways in which the Python documentation has been unnecessarily coupled to the implementation details of reference counts.  In the end users should focus on reference ownership, including taking references and releasing them, rather than on how many reference counts an object has.

This change updates the documentation to reflect that perspective.  It also updates the docs relative to immortal objects in a handful of places.

gh-107298: Fix more Sphinx warnings in the C API doc (#107329)
Declare the following functions as macros, since they are actually
macros. It avoids a warning on "TYPE" or "macro" argument.

* PyMem_New()
* PyMem_Resize()
* PyModule_AddIntMacro()
* PyModule_AddStringMacro()
* PyObject_GC_New()
* PyObject_GC_NewVar()
* PyObject_New()
* PyObject_NewVar()

Add C standard C types to nitpick_ignore in Doc/conf.py:

* int64_t
* uint64_t
* uintptr_t

No longer ignore non existing "__int" type in nitpick_ignore.

Update Doc/tools/.nitignore

  Issue #4129: More documentation pointers about int -> Py_ssize_t.
  Also fix up the documentation for PyObject_GC_Resize(). It seems that since

  _PyObject_GC_Resize().
