Docs: Use PY_VERSION_HEX for version comparison #100179

PY_VERSION_HEX should be used when comparing version numbers, for example PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03080000.

Avoid PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 8 because that is true for 3.8-3.12, but also for 4.8-4.12 and so on.

This is already warned in patchlevel.h where PY_VERSION_HEX is defined:

/* Version as a single 4-byte hex number, e.g. 0x010502B2 == 1.5.2b2.
Use this for numeric comparisons, e.g. #if PY_VERSION_HEX >= ... */
#define PY_VERSION_HEX ((PY_MAJOR_VERSION << 24) | \
(PY_MINOR_VERSION << 16) | \
(PY_MICRO_VERSION << 8) | \
(PY_RELEASE_LEVEL << 4) | \
(PY_RELEASE_SERIAL << 0))

It's a bit hidden there, let's hoist it into docs in apiabiversion.rst for visibilty.

`PY_VERSION_HEX` should be used when comparing version numbers, for
example `PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03080000`.

Avoid `PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3 && PY_MINOR_VERSION >= 8` because
that is true for 3.8-3.12, but also for 4.8-4.12 and so on.

Hoist the comment from `PY_VERSION_HEX`'s definition in `patchlevel.h`
to docs in `apiabiversion.rst`.
