[3.11] gh-103721: Improve cross-references for generic-alias docs (GH-103838) (#103840)

Cc. @adriangb

The "stub documentation" in `types.rst` does already link to the
in-depth docs in `stdtypes.rst`, but the link isn't obvious for new
users. It deserves to be made more prominent.

(cherry picked from commit cef542ca572fdd402ff0e10093a0c1b459e5dcd6)
