Commit Message

docs: correct and expand the GIL free-threading note

Follow-up to #742, which updated the GIL section to mention free
threading but stopped one version short and introduced some formatting
noise.

Content:
- Free threading was experimental in 3.13 and became officially
  supported in 3.14 (PEP 779). The previous text presented 3.13 as the
  milestone, which both overstates 3.13 and omits 3.14 -- the version
  this project already tests against.
- Clarify that the free-threaded interpreter is a separate build, not a
  runtime switch on a normal installation, so readers on a stock
  python3.13 don't follow the note and get nothing.
- Drop "allowing for true multi-threading parallelism". RxPY is not
  tested under free threading (no 3.13t/3.14t in the CI matrix), so the
  docs should describe CPython's capability, not imply RxPY exploits it.
- The GIL prevents concurrent bytecode execution, not "accessing the
  same line of code simultaneously".
- Link the official free-threading howto, and note in the parallelism
  section that pure-Python work can scale on a free-threaded build.

Formatting:
- Remove five lines of trailing whitespace and a double space.
- Re-wrap to the file's ~80 column convention (seven lines were 89-107
  characters, against three over 88 in the rest of the file).
- RxPy -> RxPY.
