Description

@encukou

I used some unfortunate wording in the docs:

The extension will work without recompilation with all Python 3 releases from the specified one onward [...]

Clarify that compiling for the Stable ABI will prevent ABI issues (missing symbols or data corruption due to changed layouts/signatures). But, behaviour can still change per PEP-387 (though we should keep it stable if we can).
