Issue #12213: make it clear that BufferedRWPair shouldn't be called with the 

same object as reader and writer, and deemphasize it in document order.

.. class:: BufferedRWPair(reader, writer, buffer_size=DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE)
A buffered I/O object giving a combined, higher-level access to two
sequential :class:`RawIOBase` objects: one readable, the other writeable.
It is useful for pairs of unidirectional communication channels
(pipes, for instance). It inherits :class:`BufferedIOBase`.
*reader* and *writer* are :class:`RawIOBase` objects that are readable and
writeable respectively. If the *buffer_size* is omitted it defaults to
:data:`DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE`.
A fourth argument, *max_buffer_size*, is supported, but unused and
deprecated.
:class:`BufferedRWPair` implements all of :class:`BufferedIOBase`\'s methods
except for :meth:`~BufferedIOBase.detach`, which raises

.. class:: BufferedRWPair(reader, writer, buffer_size=DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE)
A buffered I/O object combining two unidirectional :class:`RawIOBase`
objects -- one readable, the other writeable -- into a single bidirectional
endpoint. It inherits :class:`BufferedIOBase`.
*reader* and *writer* are :class:`RawIOBase` objects that are readable and

.. warning::
:class:`BufferedRWPair` does not attempt to synchronize accesses to
its underlying raw streams. You should not pass it the same object
as reader and writer; use :class:`BufferedRandom` instead.
