[3.11] gh-101699: Explain using Match.expand with \g<0> (GH-101701) (GH-115584)

Update documentation for re library to explain that a backreference `\g<0>` is
expanded to the entire string when using Match.expand().
Note that numeric backreferences to group 0 (`\0`) are not supported.

(cherry picked from commit d2d78088530433f475d9304104bbc0dac2536edd)
