[msullivan]

This merges a bunch of stuff currently on the vercel.com docs.
I'm going to go remove those next to centralize things for now.

No backport to stable for 40bed17 (AI decision).

Both changed files (docs/content/docs/{v4,v5}/getting-started/python.mdx) do not exist anywhere in docs/content on stable — verified with git ls-tree origin/stable, which shows no Python getting-started page at all — so this is not a correction to content already on the maintenance line. The commit is also mostly additive material (sleep parameter-form and duration-unit tables, extra imports in examples) merged over from vercel.com docs rather than a fix to something wrong on stable.

To override, re-run the Backport to stable workflow manually via workflow_dispatch and paste this commit SHA into the ref input:
