Minor fixes to C API docs (GH-31501)
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to put it with PyErr_SetImportError. * C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags. * textual fixes to unicode docs * Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section * __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable
