gh-99249: Clarify "read-only" slots tp_bases & tp_mro (GH-99342)
These slots are marked "should be treated as read-only" in the
table at the start of the document. That doesn't say anything about
setting them in the static struct.
`tp_bases` docs did say that it should be ``NULL`` (TIL!). If you
ignore that, seemingly nothing bad happens. However, some slots
may not be inherited, depending on which sub-slot structs are present.
(FWIW, NumPy sets tp_bases and is affected by the quirk -- though to
be fair, its DUAL_INHERIT code probably predates tp_bases docs, and
also the result happens to be benign.)
This patch makes things explicit.
It also makes the summary table legend easier to scan.
