[3.10] bpo-45680: Clarify documentation on ``GenericAlias`` objects (GH-29335) (GH-30688)
The documentation on ``GenericAlias`` objects implies at multiple points that
only container classes can define ``__class_getitem__``. This is misleading.
This PR proposes a rewrite of the documentation to clarify that non-container
classes can define ``__class_getitem__``, and to clarify what it means when a
non-container class is parameterized.
See also: initial discussion of issues with this piece of documentation in
GH-29308, and previous BPO issue [42280]().
Also improved references in glossary and typing docs. Fixed some links.
