Description: As people sent me comments over the years, I've been collecting user feedback on the Regex HOWTO. This PR will contain the resulting set of changes. It is currently still work-in-progress; I have a lengthy list of changes that I'm making. I'll try very hard to keep each commit completely and logically separated, so you may want to proofread commit-by-commit. Feel free to cherry-pick particular commits into main if you like while other commits get worked on; I can rebase or merge and try to keep things coherent. 📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--107825.org.readthedocs.build/
