Removes an outdated section in the
picklemodule documentation that incorrectly statesmarshaldoes not support object sharing or recursive objects.As confirmed by core developers,
marshal(protocol version 3+) supports both shared references and recursion, making the previous claim inaccurate. This change simply removes the incorrect statement without adding further comparisons, as requested.Fixes #143298
