gh-102500: Remove mention of bytes shorthand 
The bytes shorthand was removed in PEP 688:
https://peps.python.org/pep-0688/#no-special-meaning-for-bytes

I also remove the reference to `collections.abc.ByteString`, since that
object is deprecated (#91896) and has different semantics (#102092)

I think it would be good to backport this since the changes in the type
system are immediate and apply to all versions of Python.

.. class:: ByteString(Sequence[int])

A generic version of :class:`collections.abc.ByteString`.

This type represents the types :class:`bytes`, :class:`bytearray`,
and :class:`memoryview` of byte sequences.

As a shorthand for this type, :class:`bytes` can be used to
annotate arguments of any of the types mentioned above.

.. deprecated:: 3.9
Prefer :class:`collections.abc.Buffer`, or a union like ``bytes | bytearray | memoryview``.
