bpo-40895: Update weakref documentation to remove old warnings (GH-20687)
The doccumentation at https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/weakref.html cautions that the `WeakKeyDictionary` and `WeakValueDictionary` are susceptible to the problem of dictionary mutation during iteration.
These notes present the user with a problem that has no easy solution.
I dug into the implementation and found that fortunately, Antoine Pitrou already addressed this challenge (10 years ago!) by introducing an `_IterationGuard` context manager to the implementation, which delays mutation while an iteration is in progress.
I asked for confirmation and @pitrou agreed that these notes could be removed:
