[CVE-2019-5010] Fix a NULL pointer deref in ssl module. The cert parser did
not handle CRL distribution points with empty DP or URI correctly. A
malicious or buggy certificate can result into segfault. Vulnerability

Fix lru_cache() errors arising in recursive, reentrant, or multi-threaded
code. These errors could result in orphan links and in the cache being
trapped in a state with fewer than the specified maximum number of links.
Fix handling of negative maxsize which should have been treated as zero. Fix
errors in toggling the "full" status flag. Fix misordering of links when
errors are encountered. Sync-up the C code and pure Python code for the
space saving path in functions with a single positional argument. In this
common case, the space overhead of an lru cache entry is reduced by almost
half. Fix counting of cache misses. In error cases, the miss count was out
of sync with the actual number of times the underlying user function was
called.

``_abc`` module is added. It is a speedup module with C implementations for
various functions and methods in ``abc``. Creating an ABC subclass and
calling ``isinstance`` or ``issubclass`` with an ABC subclass are up to 1.5x
faster. In addition, this makes Python start-up up to 10% faster.
Note that the new implementation hides internal registry and caches,
previously accessible via private attributes ``_abc_registry``,
``_abc_cache``, and ``_abc_negative_cache``. There are three debugging
helper methods that can be used instead ``_dump_registry``,
``_abc_registry_clear``, and ``_abc_caches_clear``.

Set ``__file__`` while running a startup file. Like Python, IDLE optionally
runs one startup file in the Shell window before presenting the first
interactive input prompt. For IDLE, ``-s`` runs a file named in
environmental variable :envvar:`IDLESTARTUP` or :envvar:`PYTHONSTARTUP`;
``-r file`` runs ``file``. Python sets ``__file__`` to the startup file
name before running the file and unsets it before the first prompt. IDLE
now does the same when run normally, without the ``-n`` option.
