Enable and document use of the GitHub "Always suggest updating pull request branches" option #434

Description

@ned-deily

It has been suggested on the Python Core Devs Discord that we should enable the newish GitHub repo option to always suggest updating pull request branches when they are out-of-date when the current branch head. That would simplify the PR contribution experience in the not infrequent case when a PR CI job fails due to some unrelated change that has been subsequently fixed. As an experiment, I've already enabled it for cpython after some discussion on Discord and it does seem to be useful. If we want to make that a permanent change, we should announce it to the developer community and add something to the devguide.
