This PR updates the exception messages raised from ctypes calls to print the exception class name instead of its string representation. Also, it removes obsolete exceptions. prefixes from documentation examples.

Closes #92119.

Probably best kept for a separate PR, but I wonder why we don't run these tests as part of the doctest suite.

I'm not sure it's guaranteed that tp is actually a type here, although of course it should be. Perhaps we can execute this block only if (PyType_Check(tb)).

See https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/exceptions.html?highlight=pyerr_fetch#c.PyErr_Fetch, tp is guaranteed to be a typeobject here.

There's no explicit statement that says that, and there is no check in the C code in errors.c that ensures that the type is really a type.

Fair enough. Corrected 👍
