[issue26304] Fix “allows to ” in documentation

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Thanks for the reviews, and spotting my typo. I also sneaked in eight more 
changes (“allowing to”), to asyncio-eventloop.rst, ctypes.rst, 
whatsnew/3.3.rst, howto/pyporting.rst, Misc/NEWS, and Misc/HISTORY.

I agree that the "to xxx" changes look good. And the handful of other 
corrections look good, too.

I left a review comment with one typo I found.

I have read the patch, and it LGTM. At least it does exactly what is declared 
(and fixes some other minor errors). Thank you Martin.

[issue26304] Fix “allows to ” in documentation

[Martin Panter]

New submission from Martin Panter:

This patch changes instances of “. . . allows to ” to “. . . allows 
ing” or similar. I understand the original form is not correct English 
grammar, although the equivalent is apparently valid in some other languages. 
As a native English speaker it feels awkward to me, although the meaning is 
clear. This question & answer 

 seem to back me up, but I thought I should get a quick review or second 
opinion before changing everything.
