…o pathlib docs. (pythonGH-120970) Add dedicated subsection for `home()`, `expanduser()`, `cwd()`, `absolute()`, `resolve()` and `readlink()`. The position of this section keeps all the `Path` constructors (`Path()`, `Path.from_uri()`, `Path.home()` and `Path.cwd()`) near the top. Within the section, closely related methods are kept adjacent. Specifically: -.`home()` and `expanduser()` (the former calls the latter) - `cwd()` and `absolute()` (the former calls the latter) - `absolute()` and `resolve()` (both make paths absolute) - `resolve()` and `readlink()` (both read symlink targets) - Ditto `cwd()` and `absolute()` - Ditto `absolute()` and `resolve()` The "Other methods" section is removed..
