Add PEP 688 special buffer methods to C API Type Object and Buffer Protocol docs #132246
Description
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.

Data Model: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-buffer-types
