Log Message:
lang/python/pyversion.mk: Withdraw pbulk comments

  - Drop comments about pbulk bulding versions in the default value of
    PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED, because I misunderstood.  For each
    package, pbulk builds versions for *that package's* value of
    PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED, and thus can e.g build 310 if a package
    is marked for 310.
  - Expand suggestion that INCOMPATIBLE is preferred, because it
    adapts to both removed old versions and added new versions.

Issues remain, but I think they have reached disagreements more than
confusion :-)
