[3.11] gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS (GH-95527) (GH-95643)
If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can
be used directly without changes in readability and behavior.
It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack.

This change does not affect Python examples..

gh-91181: drop support for bytes on sys.path (GH-31934)
Support for bytes broke sometime between Python 3.2 and 3.6 and has been broken ever since. Trying to bring back supports is surprisingly difficult in the face of -b and checking for keys in sys.path_importer_cache. Since the support was broken for so long, trying to overcome the difficulty of bringing back the support has been deemed not worth it.

bpo-45619: documentation of execution model: clarify and update binding summary (#29232)
This does two changes that are quite related.

0. it add that variable binding can occur in pattern matching, an update of 3.10
which seems to have been omitted from the list of bindings
1. Given how long the sentence already was, with even subcases in the middle of
the sentence, the commit breaks the sentence into an actual list.

[doc] bpo-45680: Disambiguate ``__getitem__`` and ``__class_getitem__`` in the data model (GH-29389)
The documentation explaining Python's data model does not adequately explain
the differences between ``__getitem__`` and ``__class_getitem__``, nor does it
explain when each is called. There is an attempt at explaining
``__class_getitem__`` in the documentation for ``GenericAlias`` objects, but
this does not give sufficient clarity into how the method works. Moreover, it
is the wrong place for that information to be found; the explanation of
``__class_getitem__`` should be in the documentation explaining the data model.

This PR has been split off from GH-29335.
