`super()` is using the MRO to find the first `__init__()` function, if the blender-defined type is not the first inherited type, it may never be called that way.
See #133183
While in theory it would be good to have calls to super classes'
`__del__()` destructors in subclasses, matching the ones to
`__init__()`, several limitations of current CPython implementation do
not make it a practical requirement.
So remove `__del__` from examples, and add a note summarizing the
current problems with using it (aka `tp_finalize` in C++ code).
Also see !132476 for some discussion about that topic.
According to the Python API release notes, this is required now along
with super().__init__() which was already done.
Also fixes mistake in example in API docs.

Essentially, any operator modifying Blender data should enable this
`UNDO` option, else bad things (corruption, crashes...) are likely to
happen.
* Added a new Operator example to explain this topic.
* Updated some existing Operator examples that were not correct anymore.
* Added a new small section in the gotchas page linking to it.
* Added also short reminder about this in the `UNDO` 'tooltip'
description itself.
Related to #77557.
This PR:
* Splits the `Gotchas` page into several sub-sections. This was getting too big and hard to navigate.
* Adds some information regarding Python instances life-time of objects wrapping Blender internal data.
* Adds some information about usage of constructors and destructors for sub-classes of Blender-defined types.

Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
Pull Request #104755
The side-bar included both title and description for documentation
pages including quickstart, tips & tricks .. etc.
Titles often wrapped and took up a lot of vertical space in the side-bar.
Now these pages are linked on the main page, with the side-bar
used for top-level Python modules.
Blender may not apply certain UI data changes immediately when done via BPY.
This is a rather typical gotcha, better to have it documented.

It can be assumed that all scripts comply with basic pep8 formatting
regarding white-space, indentation etc.
Also remove note in best practices page & update `tests/python/pep8.py`.
If we want to exclude some scripts from make format,
this can be done by adding them to `ignore_files` in:
source/tools/utils_maintenance/autopep8_format_paths.py
Or using `# nopep8` for to ignore for individual lines.
