pythonGH-119054: Add "Expanding and resolving paths" section to pathl…

…ib docs. (python#120970)

Add dedicated subsection for `home()`, `expanduser()`, `cwd()`,
`absolute()`, `resolve()` and `readlink()`. The position of this section
keeps all the `Path` constructors (`Path()`, `Path.from_uri()`,
`Path.home()` and `Path.cwd()`) near the top. Within the section, closely
related methods are kept adjacent. Specifically:

-.`home()` and `expanduser()` (the former calls the latter)
- `cwd()` and `absolute()` (the former calls the latter)
- `absolute()` and `resolve()` (both make paths absolute)
- `resolve()` and `readlink()` (both read symlink targets)
- Ditto `cwd()` and `absolute()`
- Ditto `absolute()` and `resolve()`

The "Other methods" section is removed.

+Expanding and resolving paths
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. classmethod:: Path.home()
+
+   Return a new path object representing the user's home directory (as
+   returned by :func:`os.path.expanduser` with ``~`` construct). If the home
+   directory can't be resolved, :exc:`RuntimeError` is raised.
+
+   ::
+
+      >>> Path.home()
+      PosixPath('/home/antoine')
+
+   .. versionadded:: 3.5
+
+
+.. method:: Path.expanduser()
+
+   Return a new path with expanded ``~`` and ``~user`` constructs,
+   as returned by :meth:`os.path.expanduser`. If a home directory can't be
+   resolved, :exc:`RuntimeError` is raised.
+
+   ::
+
+      >>> p = PosixPath('~/films/Monty Python')
+      >>> p.expanduser()
+      PosixPath('/home/eric/films/Monty Python')
+
+   .. versionadded:: 3.5
+
+
+.. classmethod:: Path.cwd()
+
+   Return a new path object representing the current directory (as returned
+   by :func:`os.getcwd`)::
+
+      >>> Path.cwd()
+      PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib')
+
+
+.. method:: Path.absolute()
+
+   Make the path absolute, without normalization or resolving symlinks.
+   Returns a new path object::
+
+      >>> p = Path('tests')
+      >>> p
+      PosixPath('tests')
+      >>> p.absolute()
+      PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib/tests')
+
+
+.. method:: Path.resolve(strict=False)
+
+   Make the path absolute, resolving any symlinks.  A new path object is
+   returned::
+
+      >>> p = Path()
+      >>> p
+      PosixPath('.')
+      >>> p.resolve()
+      PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib')
+
+   "``..``" components are also eliminated (this is the only method to do so)::
+
+      >>> p = Path('docs/../setup.py')
+      >>> p.resolve()
+      PosixPath('/home/antoine/pathlib/setup.py')
+
+   If a path doesn't exist or a symlink loop is encountered, and *strict* is
+   ``True``, :exc:`OSError` is raised.  If *strict* is ``False``, the path is
+   resolved as far as possible and any remainder is appended without checking
+   whether it exists.
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.6
+      The *strict* parameter was added (pre-3.6 behavior is strict).
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.13
+      Symlink loops are treated like other errors: :exc:`OSError` is raised in
+      strict mode, and no exception is raised in non-strict mode. In previous
+      versions, :exc:`RuntimeError` is raised no matter the value of *strict*.
+
+
+.. method:: Path.readlink()
+
+   Return the path to which the symbolic link points (as returned by
+   :func:`os.readlink`)::
+
+      >>> p = Path('mylink')
+      >>> p.symlink_to('setup.py')
+      >>> p.readlink()
+      PosixPath('setup.py')
+
+   .. versionadded:: 3.9
+
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.13
+      Raises :exc:`UnsupportedOperation` if :func:`os.readlink` is not
+      available. In previous versions, :exc:`NotImplementedError` was raised.
