[docs] [issue30372] Status of __builtins__ is not totally clear

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Moving "CPython implementation detail: " up a paragraph should be trivial.  Resolving the conflict between " __builtins__ can be set to a user-created dictionary to create a weak form of restricted execution." and "Users should not touch __builtins__;" seems less so.  I suspect the the latter was added well after the former, and that the former should have been deleted at that time.
