Ref. discussion on #67337: #23148 (comment)

OptimizedUnicode was obsoleted and undocumented in Python 3.3 (see commit 86dc732).

Suggesting to either deprecate OptimizedUnicode in 3.10 and remove it in 3.11, or just simply remove it in 3.10.

Relevant history:
48b13f0 (undoc)
bc35beb (clean up and undoc, closing bpo-13921)

(Pablo, adding you to nosy since you're the release manager; hope that's ok)
