Documentation

Two special methods, __buffer__ and __release_buffer__ were added to Python 3.12 by PEP-688. The C API Type Object documentation for slots includes tp_as_buffer, and sub-slots bf_getbuffer, bf_releasebuffer but does not refer to the Python Data Model version of those. Add the missing references.
