Description
Added a new term entry for NumPy's ndarray.view() that explains how to create shallow views that share the original array's data buffer. The entry includes:

A concise definition describing that .view() returns a new array object sharing the same underlying memory.
A ## Syntax section with the method signature and parameter explanations (dtype, type).
An ## Example demonstrating that views share memory with the original array.
A ## Codebyte section with runnable codebyte/python showing:
shared-data view example,
dtype reinterpretation (byte-wise view),
using the type argument to create an ndarray subclass,
how to use .copy() for an independent copy.

Motivation/context: Provide a clear, learner-friendly term entry that covers the common uses and caveats of .view() (shared memory vs copy, dtype reinterpreting, and the type parameter).

Branch: numpy (current working branch).
