[3.9] gh-92417: `stdtypes` docs: delete discussion of Python 2 differences (GH-92423) (GH-92474)

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.
(cherry picked from commit 8efda1e7c6343b1671d93837bf2c146e4cf77bbf)

 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.
