bpo-38738: Fix formatting of True and False. (GH-17083)
* "Return true/false" is replaced with "Return ``True``/``False``"
  if the function actually returns a bool.
* Fixed formatting of some True and False literals (now in monospace).
* Replaced "True/False" with "true/false" if it can be not only bool.
* Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code.
* "Returns <bool>" is replaced with "Return <bool>".

Cristian Ciupitu 11fa0e48a9 Doc: fix example for iter() function. (GH-11959)
read() returns bytes for a file opened in binary mode,
so b'' should be used as a sentinel instead of ''.
Otherwise the loop will be infinite.

Clarify U-mode deprecation in open() (GH-11646)
The previous wording could be read as saying that universal
newlines mode itself was deprecated, when it's only the 'U'
character in the mode field that should be avoided.

The update also moves the description of the 'U' mode character
out of the mode table, as the longer explanation was overly
intrusive as a table entry and overshadowed the actually useful
mode characters.

bpo-22057: Clarify eval() documentation (GH-8812)
If a globals dictionary without a '__builtins__' key is passed to
eval(), a '__builtins__' key will be inserted to the dictionary:

    >>> eval("print('__builtins__' in globals())", {})
    True

(As a result of this behavior, we can use the builtins
print() and globals() even if we passed a dictionary without a
'__builtins__' key to eval().)

csabella c6db4811f9 bpo-30052: Link `bytes` & `bytearray` to stdtypes not functions (GH-1271)
Builtin container types have two potential link targets in the docs:

- their entry in the list of builtin callables
- their type documentation

This change brings `bytes` and `bytearray` into line with other
container types by having cross-references default to linking to
their type documentation, rather than their builtin callable entry.
