Merged

Conversation
For the `atexit` module: - Move common info from `register` to the module level (a lot of this was duplicated -- less maintainable and harder to read) - Use *interpreter shutdown* consistently, introducing it as a more general term for the old docs' *program termination*. - Use the term *exit handler* consistently - Move warning for a mitigated footgun to a change entry - Add a new warning about keeping things usable Similarly clarify docs for the `atexit` attribute in `weakref`. (cherry picked from commit 1d28836) Co-authored-by: Petr Viktorin <encukou@gmail.com>
