[issue41886] PyType_Type is documented incorrectly

[da-woods]

New submission from da-woods :

In the documentation PyType_Type is listed as a "PyObject*" 
(https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/type.html#c.PyType_Type). This is misleading 
because it is both not a pointer and is a PyTypeObject.

Other type objects are documented as "PyTypeObject" (see unicode 
https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/unicode.html#c.PyUnicode_Type as an arbitrary 
example) so I think the documentation is just inconsistent for PyType_Type 
alone.
