pytypeinfo: rename is_instance to is_type_of

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.
 - Change formatting of `PyDowncastError` messages to be closer to Python's builtin error messages. [#1212](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1212)
 - Change `Debug` and `Display` impls for `PyException` to be consistent with `PyAny`. [#1275](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1275)
 - Change `Debug` impl of `PyErr` to output more helpful information (acquiring the GIL if necessary). [#1275](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1275)
+- Rename `PyTypeInfo::is_instance` and `PyTypeInfo::is_exact_instance` to `PyTypeInfo::is_type_of` and `PyTypeInfo::is_exact_type_of`. [#1278](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/1278)
 
 ### Removed
 - Remove deprecated ffi definitions `PyUnicode_AsUnicodeCopy`, `PyUnicode_GetMax`, `_Py_CheckRecursionLimit`, `PyObject_AsCharBuffer`, `PyObject_AsReadBuffer`, `PyObject_CheckReadBuffer` and `PyObject_AsWriteBuffer`, which will be removed in Python 3.10.
