Numeric fields of type float, notably mtime, can't be represented
exactly in the ustar header, so the pax header is used. But it is
helpful to set them to the nearest int (i.e. second rather than
nanosecond precision mtimes) in the ustar header as well, for the
benefit of unarchivers that don't understand the pax header.
Add test for tarfile.TarInfo.create_pax_header to confirm correct
behaviour.
In [Lib/test/support/import_helper.py](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/support/import_helper.py), the function `make_legacy_pyc` makes a call to `os.rename` which can fail when the source and target live on different devices. This happens (for example) when `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX` is set to a directory anywhere on disk, while a ramdisk is mounted on `/tmp` (the latter of which is the default on various Linux distros). Replacing `os.rename` with `shutil.move` fixes this.

The calendar.LocaleTextCalendar and calendar.LocaleHTMLCalendar
classes module now use locale.getlocale(), instead of using
locale.getdefaultlocale(), if no locale is specified.
ctypes.CFUNCTYPE() and ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE() now fail to create the
type if its "_argtypes_" member contains too many arguments.
Previously, the error was only raised when calling a function.
Change also how CFUNCTYPE() and WINFUNCTYPE() handle KeyError to
prevent creating a chain of exceptions if ctypes.CFuncPtr raises an
error.
skip_if_buggy_ucrt_strfptime() of test.support now uses
locale.getpreferredencoding(False) instead of
locale.getdefaultlocale() to get the Windows code page.
encodings registers the _alias_mbcs() codec search function before
the search_function() codec search function. Previously, the
_alias_mbcs() was never used.
Fix the test_codecs.test_mbcs_alias() test: use the current ANSI code
page, not a fake ANSI code page number.
Remove the test_site.test_aliasing_mbcs() test: the alias is now
implemented in the encodings module, no longer in the site module.
This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

It was added as part of #29222 to avoid running freeze tool tests on the
buildbots but the logic was wrong so it did not skip tests on typical posix
setup buildbots where the worker is launched from cron via an @reboot task and
thus have no USER environment variable. This uses the canonical
`getpass.getuser()` API rather than rolling its own attempt.

This reverts commit df2284bc41.
* bpo-45173: Note these configparser deprecations will be removed in 3.12
Per Pitrou:
> The original intent for the “accessor” thing was to have a variant that did all accesses under a filesystem tree in a race condition-free way using openat and friends. It turned out to be much too hairy to actually implement, so was entirely abandoned, but the accessor abstraction was left there.
https://discuss.python.org/t/make-pathlib-extensible/3428/2
Accessors are:
- Lacking any internal purpose - '_NormalAccessor' is the only implementation
- Lacking any firm conceptual difference to `Path` objects themselves (inc. subclasses)
- Non-public, i.e. underscore prefixed - '_Accessor' and '_NormalAccessor'
- Unofficially used to implement customized `Path` objects, but once once [bpo-24132]() is addressed there will be a supported route for that.
This patch preserves all existing behaviour.
