This PR improves the docstring for APIView.dispatch to better document
the request/response lifecycle in Django REST Framework.

The updated docstring explains:

  • Request initialization and wrapping
  • Authentication, permission, and throttling checks
  • Handler method resolution
  • Exception handling
  • Response finalization

No functional changes are introduced.
