summary:

bpo-38870: Extend subject of ast.unparse warnings (GH-21053)

- Mention that some compiler optimizations might not roundtrip
exactly (such as constant tuples and frozensets).

- Add a warning about it might raise RecursionError on very
complex expressions due to recursive unparsing aspect of ast.unparse
