Remove outdated wiki.python.org references from the documentation.

The Python wiki is being archived, so this PR removes obsolete wiki links from FAQs, HOWTOs, library docs, What’s New entries, and the docs sidebar.

Also replaces the old wiki Sorting HOWTO link with the existing internal :ref:sortinghowto reference.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.

This change only removes outdated wiki links from the documentation and does not affect users. Requesting skip news.

How about replacing Beginner's Guide with Getting Started?

How about replacing Beginner's Guide with Getting Started?

A lot of the links on that page go to the wiki, so we'll need to update that as well :)

Should I still go ahead with replacing the Beginner's Guide with the Getting Started link eventhough it still contains the wiki.python.org links?
