(cherry picked from commit d3ed2877a7)
Improve the description of the high and low parameters for set_write_buffer_limits.
Also fixed a small grammatical issue.
(cherry picked from commit 5200a7c7f9)
Partially clarify the subprocess convenience API documentation by
explicitly listing the `cwd` parameter in their abbreviated signatures.
While this has been merged as an improvement, it doesn't fully
resolve the issue, as the `cwd` should also be covered in the
"Frequently Used Arguments" section, and the fact these APIs
pass unlisted keyword arguments down to the lower level APIs
is currently still unclear.

(cherry picked from commit 63c2c8ac17)
Clarify that `two-pass` buffer can only be dumped once, and it prints out all text sent to it during all processing, even from Clinic blocks *after* the dumping point.
The patch for bpo-30052 changed the preferred link target
for :func:`bytes` and :func`bytearray` references to be the
respective type definitions rather than the corresponding
builtin function entries.
This patch changes the daily documentation builds to disable
the output caching in Sphinx, in order to ensure that
cross-reference changes like this one are reliably picked
up and applied automatically after merging.
(cherry picked from commit 7a82f9c2b9)
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..
(cherry picked from commit c6db4811f9)
The "iterable iterable" phrasing created confusion between the term
reference and the parameter name.
This simplifies the phrasing to just use the parameter name
without linking directly to the term definition.
(cherry picked from commit 08e2f355d0)
The data model section of the language reference was written well
before the zero-argument form of super() was added.
To avoid giving the impression that they're doing something
unusual, this updates the description of `__new__` and `__init__`
to use the zero-argument form.
