Subject: [PATCH] gh-61481: Document that memoryview, range, and slice cannot
 be subclassed

Among the built-in classes that can't be subclassed, only bool documents
it. memoryview, range, and slice behave the same but say nothing, so it
can only be found out by trying. Add the same note to those three.

The wording mirrors the existing bool entry, minus the "further" that
applies only to bool (which subclasses int).
