A copy-editing pass for release highlights. I'm slowly working my way through What's New, next will be a more detailed pass of the PEP-sized new features.

Summary of changes:

Add expected release date
Expand and update the overview section, linking to other sections of What's New
Refer to PEP 703 as free threaded rather than dropping the GIL
Note improved UX features (colour, error messages) in release highlights
Note PEP 594 (dead batteries) in release highlights
Add link to porting guidance to release highlights
Sort interpreter improvements by PEP number (but keep pyrepl first, as it is highly visible), and merge "Free-threading:" into the interpreter improvements section
Note data model changes
Highlight a few stdlib improvements
Highlight security improvements
Highlight C-API improvements
Phrase typing features in the present tense
Note wasm32 changes in platform support
Add non-module removals
Note the new dbm.sqlite3 module

		C API improvements:

		* The :c:data:`Py_mod_gil` slot is now used to indicate that an extension module
		supports running with the :term:`GIL` disabled.
		* The :doc:`PyTime C API </c-api/time>` has been added,
		providing access to system clocks.
		* :c:type:`PyMutex` is a new lightweight mutex that occupies a single byte.

@vstinner / @serhiy-storchaka -- is there anything you want to highlight particularly in terms of C-API changes for the release highlights section of What's New? These were my suggestions but very happy to change them.

Nothing particular, but entries in the "C API Changes" section should be reordered. First new functions, then changes in existing functions. Functions with same prefix (e.g. PyDict_) or similar purpose should be mentioned next to one other.

You can highlight adding groups of functions with similar effect: for example adding functions that return strong references rather than borrowed references or adding functions that return different codes for error and the absent item (without raising an exception in the latter case).
