gh-125063: marshal: Add version 5, improve documentation (GH-126829)
* Document that slices can be marshalled
* Deduplicate and organize the list of supported types
  in docs
* Organize the type code list in marshal.c, to make
  it more obvious that this is a versioned format
* Back-fill some historical info

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_

.. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
