* bpo-40204: Allow pre-Sphinx 3 syntax in the doc (GH-21844)

Enable Sphinx 3.2 "c_allow_pre_v3" option and disable the
c_warn_on_allowed_pre_v3 option to make the documentation compatible
with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.

(cherry picked from commit 423e77d)

* bpo-40204: Fix Sphinx sytanx in howto/instrumentation.rst (GH-21858)

Use generic '.. object::' to declare markers, rather than abusing
'..  c:function::' which fails on Sphinx 3.

(cherry picked from commit 43577c0)

* bpo-40204: Fix duplicates in the documentation (GH-21857)

Doc/c-api/unicode.rst:1603: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'c-api/unicode'.
Declaration is 'PyObject* PyUnicode_Translate(PyObject *str, PyObject *table, const char *errors)'.

* bpo-40204: Add :noindex: in the documentation (GH-21859)

Add :noindex: to duplicated documentation to fix "duplicate object
description" errors.

in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them

(cherry picked from commit d3ded08)

For example, fix the following Sphinx 3 errors:

Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:102: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 5]
  void \*obj
  -----^

Doc/c-api/arg.rst:130: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'PyObject*'
Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 8]
  PyObject*
  --------^

* bpo-40204: Fix reference to terms in the doc (GH-21865)

Sphinx 3 requires to refer to terms with the exact case.

sensitive match.made a reference to loader instead.

(cherry picked from commit bb0b085)

* bpo-40204: Fix duplicated productionlist names in the doc (GH-21900)

Sphinx 3 disallows having more than one productionlist markup with
the same name. Simply remove names in this case, since names are not
shown anyway. For example, fix the Sphinx 3 warning:

Doc/reference/introduction.rst:96: duplicate token description
of *:name, other instance in reference/expressions
