gh-111112: Avoid potential confusion in TCP server example. (GH-111113)
Improve misleading TCP server docs and example.
socket.recv(), as documented by the Python reference documentation,
returns at most `bufsize` bytes, and the underlying TCP protocol means
there is no guaranteed correspondence between what is sent by the client
and what is received by the server.
This conflation could mislead readers into thinking that TCP is
datagram-based or has similar semantics, which will likely appear to
work for simple cases, but introduce difficult to reproduce bugs.

for which no target is available. Name the class properly and suppress

gh-110893: Improve the documentation for __future__ module (GH-114642)
nedbat took issue with the phrasing "real module". I'm actually fine
with that phrasing, but I do think the `__future__` page should be clear
about the way in which the `__future__` module is special. (Yes, there
was a footnote linking to the future statements part of the reference,
but there should be upfront discussion).
I'm sympathetic to nedbat's claim that no one really cares about
`__future__._Feature`, so I've moved the interesting table up to the
top.
