docs: Update CPython differences and improve the look of table layouts. 

Updated some of the CPython feature differences:
- Updated status of some features.
- Added CSS to fix table widths to 100% and word wrap.
- Specified explicit table column ratios to improve layout appearance.
- Added missing references to anchors.
- Better consistency with use of formatting and case.
