In preparation for documenting changes for #1719, I ended up rewriting the "building and distribution" chapter of the guide.
It's mostly a reorganisation and extra text to make it flow a bit better.
I ended up taking out the "PyPy" section as I don't think it's particularly informative. Our docs already have information on all APIs which aren't available for PyPy e.g. https://docs.rs/pyo3/0.14.1/pyo3/types/struct.PyDict.html#method.from_sequence, which seems good enough and much more likely to stay up-to-date than a list in the guide.
