Subject: [PATCH] gh-89554: Document socket, thread and expat type objects as
 classes

socket.SocketType, _thread.LockType and xml.parsers.expat.XMLParserType
are classes (the type objects for socket, lock and expat parser objects),
but were documented with the ".. data::" directive, so ":class:"
cross-references to them cannot resolve against a py:class target.

Switch these three entries to ".. class::".
