gh-92417: `stdtypes` docs: delete discussion of Python 2 differences (GH-92423)
Given that 2.7 has now been end-of-life for two and a half years, I don't think we need such a detailed explanation here anymore of the differences between Python 2 and Python 3.

@@ -2573,16 +2573,6 @@ The representation of bytes objects uses the literal format (``b'...'``)
since it is often more useful than e.g. ``bytes([46, 46, 46])``. You can
always convert a bytes object into a list of integers using ``list(b)``.

- For Python 2.x users: In the Python 2.x series, a variety of implicit
- conversions between 8-bit strings (the closest thing 2.x offers to a
- built-in binary data type) and Unicode strings were permitted. This was a
- backwards compatibility workaround to account for the fact that Python
- originally only supported 8-bit text, and Unicode text was a later
- addition. In Python 3.x, those implicit conversions are gone - conversions
- between 8-bit binary data and Unicode text must be explicit, and bytes and
- string objects will always compare unequal.
