Backwards Compatibility Policy updates/clarifications

(Dropped the ball on this for a few months, but...)
Please consider some changes to our backwards compatibility policy.

Discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/22042
PR: python/peps#2931

These are mostly clarifications and/or codifying the status quo, but, you might disagree, but one change is somewhat controversial: explicitly noting that if something is not documented at all, it is not automatically considered private.

replied on the thread, we're happy with the changes.
