gh-95588: Drop the safety claim from ast.literal_eval docs. (#95919)
It was never really safe and this claim conflicts directly with the big warning in the docs about it being able to crash the interpreter.

gh-91317: Document that Path does not collapse initial // (GH-32193)
Documentation for `pathlib` says:

> Spurious slashes and single dots are collapsed, but double dots ('..') are not, since this would change the meaning of a path in the face of symbolic links:

However, it omits that initial double slashes also aren't collapsed.

Later, in documentation of `PurePath.drive`, `PurePath.root`, and `PurePath.name` it mentions UNC but:

- this abbreviation says nothing to a person who is unaware about existence of UNC (Wikipedia doesn't help either by [giving a disambiguation page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNC))
- it shows up only if a person needs to use a specific property or decides to fully learn what the module provides.

For context, see the BPO entry.

bpo-42272: fix misleading warning filter message/module docs (#23172)
* bpo-42272: improve message/module warning filter docs

"The Warnings Filter" section of the warnings module documentation
describes the message and module filters as "a string containing a
regular expression".  While that is true when they are arguments to the
filterwarnings function, it is not true when they appear in -W or
$PYTHONWARNINGS where they are matched literally (after stripping any
starting/ending whitespace).  Update the documentation to note when they
are matched literally.  Also clarify that module matches the
"fully-qualified module name", rather than "module name" which is
ambiguous.

skip news (since this is a doc fix)

* bpo-42272: remove bad submodule warning filter doc

The `error:::mymodule[.*]` example in the "Describing Warning Filters"
section of the warnings module documentation does not behave as the
comment describes.  Since the module portion of the filter string is
interpreted literally, it would match a module with a fully-qualified
name that is literally `mymodule[.*]`.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to match '"module" and any subpackages
of "mymodule"' as documented, since the module part of a filter string
is matched literally.  Instead, update the filter and comment to match
only "mymodule".

bpo-36329: Remove 'make -C Doc serve' in favour of 'make -C Doc htmlview' (GH-32354)
Also updated `make -C htmlview` so it used a full path with `file://`, because the original didn't open the page (macOS).

For example:
```sh
cd Doc

# Doesn't open anything:
python3 -c "import webbrowser; webbrowser.open('build/html/index.html')"

# Opens the docs page e.g. file:///Users/hugo/github/cpython/Doc/build/html/index.html :
python3 -c "import os, webbrowser; webbrowser.open('file://' + os.path.realpath('build/html/index.html'))"
```
