X Title: gh-141984: Reword and reorganize Subscription (and Slicing) docs by encukou · Pull Request #141985 · python/cpython

Description: This merges the Subscriptions and Slicings sections in the language reference. From the parser's point of view, slicing is a special case of subscription, and it makes sense to document it that way too. The PR also touches Data model documentation: I've tried to move details of the runtime behaviour there, and to de-duplicate (and cross-link) as needed. Similar for the slice attribute docs. Todo: Add a glossary entry for subscript -- the term this uses consistently for the key/index/whatever in the square brackets. Issue: gh-141984 📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--141985.org.readthedocs.build/
