Fixes #15414

Adds a section to the stubtest documentation explaining that names beginning with a leading underscore are treated as private to the stub. This documents the existing behaviour used by typeshed, so users know they can use names like "_T" for TypeVars that don't exist at runtime.

Add a section to the stubtest documentation explaining that names
beginning with a leading underscore are treated as private to the
stub and will not be flagged if missing at runtime.
