Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.
* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:
* Document command line options and environment variables
* Document default values.
* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.
They were occurring with both repeated 'force-calltip' invocations and by typing parentheses
in expressions, strings, and comments in the argument code.

* bpo-37193: remove the thread which finished process request from threads list
* rename variable t to thread.
* don't remove thread from list if it is daemon.
* use lock to protect self._threads.
* use finally block in case of exception from shutdown_request().
* check "not thread.daemon" before lock to avoid holding the lock if it's unnecessary.
* fix the place of _threads_lock.
* separate code to remove a current thread into a function.
* check ValueError when removing thread.
* fix wrong code which all instance shared same lock.
* Extract thread management into a _Threads class to encapsulate atomic operations and separate concerns.
* Replace multiple references of 'block_on_close' with one, avoiding the possibility that 'block_on_close' could change during the course of processing requests. Now, there's exactly one _threads object with behavior fixed for the duration.
* Add docstrings to private classes.
* Add test to ensure that a ThreadingTCPServer can be closed without serving any requests.
* Use _NoThreads as the default value. Fixes AttributeError when server is closed without serving any requests.
* Add blurb
* Add test capturing failure.

If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
[bpo-29566]() notes that binhex.binhex uses inconsistent line endings (both Unix and MacOS9 line endings are used). This PR changes this to use the MacOS9 line endings everywhere.
* bpo-42146: Unify cleanup in subprocess_fork_exec()
Also ignore errors from _enable_gc():
* They are always suppressed by the current code due to a bug.
* _enable_gc() is only used if `preexec_fn != None`, which is unsafe.
* We don't have a good way to handle errors in case we successfully
created a child process.

Left-recursive rules need to check for errors explicitly, since
even if the rule returns NULL, the parsing might continue and lead
to long-distance failures.

No backport is required since union is only in 3.10.
This addresses "3. Consistency nitpicks for Union's docs" in the bpo.
Please skip news. Thank you.
* Add a new _locale._get_locale_encoding() function to get the
current locale encoding.
* Modify locale.getpreferredencoding() to use it.
* Remove the _bootlocale module.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
The last GC collection is now done before clearing builtins and sys
dictionaries. Add also assertions to ensure that gc.collect() is no
longer called after _PyGC_Fini().
Pass also the tstate to PyInterpreterState_Clear() to pass the
correct tstate to _PyGC_CollectNoFail() and _PyGC_Fini().
Move private _PyGC_CollectNoFail() to the internal C API.
Remove the private _PyGC_CollectIfEnabled() which was just an alias
to the public PyGC_Collect() function since Python 3.8.
Rename functions:
* collect() => gc_collect_main()
* collect_with_callback() => gc_collect_with_callback()
* collect_generations() => gc_collect_generations()
The _RandomSequence class in tempfile used to check the current pid every time its rng property was used.
This commit replaces this code with `os.register_at_fork` to reduce the overhead.
Follow up to 7cdf30fff3 and 4173320920. This addresses the point "1. Update links in typing, subscription and union to point to GenericAlias." in the bpo for this PR.
Use PyLong_FromLong(0) and PyLong_FromLong(1) of the public C API
instead. For Python internals, _PyLong_GetZero() and _PyLong_GetOne()
of pycore_long.h can be used.
Use _PyLong_GetZero() and _PyLong_GetOne() in Modules/ directory.
_cursesmodule.c and zoneinfo.c are now built with
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro defined.
