bpo-33234: Add exact allocation optimization to lists in What's New (GH-10200)

to the optimization section in What's new for Python 3.8.

Note that this means that instances can no longer be weak-referenced and
that arbitrary attributes can no longer be added to them.
* The :class:`list` constructor does not overallocate the internal item buffer
if the input iterable has a known length (the input implements ``__len__``).
This makes the created list 12% smaller on average. (Contributed by Pablo
Galindo in :issue:`33234`.)
