PR #100161 added fancy float-style formatting for the Fraction type,
but left us in a state where basic formatting for fractions (alignment,
fill, minimum width, thousands separators) still wasn't supported.
This PR adds that support.

This PR adds a private `Fraction._from_coprime_ints` classmethod for internal creations of `Fraction` objects, replacing the use of `_normalize=False` in the existing constructor. This speeds up creation of `Fraction` objects arising from calculations. The `_normalize` argument to the `Fraction` constructor has been removed.

This PR adds support for float-style formatting for `Fraction` objects: it supports the `"e"`, `"E"`, `"f"`, `"F"`, `"g"`, `"G"` and `"%"` presentation types, and all the various bells and whistles of the formatting mini-language for those presentation types. The behaviour almost exactly matches that of `float`, but the implementation works with the exact `Fraction` value and does not do an intermediate conversion to `float`, and so avoids loss of precision or issues with numbers that are outside the dynamic range of the `float` type.
Note that the `"n"` presentation type is _not_ supported. That support could be added later if people have a need for it.
There's one corner-case where the behaviour differs from that of float: for the `float` type, if explicit alignment is specified with a fill character of `'0'` and alignment type `'='`, then thousands separators (if specified) are inserted into the padding string:
```python
>>> format(3.14, '0=11,.2f')
'0,000,003.14'
```
The exact same effect can be achieved by using the `'0'` flag:
```python
>>> format(3.14, '011,.2f')
'0,000,003.14'
```
For `Fraction`, only the `'0'` flag has the above behaviour with respect to thousands separators: there's no special-casing of the particular `'0='` fill-character/alignment combination. Instead, we treat the fill character `'0'` just like any other:
```python
>>> format(Fraction('3.14'), '0=11,.2f')
'00000003.14'
>>> format(Fraction('3.14'), '011,.2f')
'0,000,003.14'
```
The `Fraction` formatter is also stricter about combining these two things: it's not permitted to use both the `'0'` flag _and_ explicit alignment, on the basis that we should refuse the temptation to guess in the face of ambiguity. `float` is less picky:
```python
>>> format(3.14, '0<011,.2f')
'3.140000000'
>>> format(Fraction('3.14'), '0<011,.2f')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/mdickinson/Repositories/python/cpython/Lib/fractions.py", line 414, in __format__

ValueError: Invalid format specifier '0<011,.2f' for object of type 'Fraction'; can't use explicit alignment when zero-padding

bpo-43420: Implement standard transformations in + - * / that can often reduce the size of intermediate integers needed. For rationals with large components, this can yield dramatic speed improvements, but for small rationals can run 10-20% slower, due to increased fixed overheads in the longer-winded code. If those slowdowns turn out to be a problem, see the PR discussion for low-level implementation tricks that could cut other fixed overheads.

* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer().
The int.is_integer() method always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True.
* bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int.
This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass
implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and
may have suboptimal performance for other types.
* bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one.
This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's
lowest form, as required by the class docstring.
* bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True.
* bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method.
The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound
method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational.
These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method.
* bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float.
The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations
which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference
to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of
is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods
on Float'.
The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and
mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or
to handle special values like NaN.
* bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations.
The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses
mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to
Python.
The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer
using to_integral_value().
In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also
implemented.
Tests and documentation are included.
* bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file.
* bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal.

Fix regression in fractions.Fraction if the numerator and/or the
denominator is an int subclass. The math.gcd() function is now
used to normalize the numerator and denominator. math.gcd() always
return a int type. Previously, the GCD type depended on numerator
and denominator.
Some numerator types used (specifically NumPy) decides to not
return a Python boolean for the "a != b" operation. Using the equivalent
call to bool() guarantees a bool return also for such types.
* bpo-35588: Implement mod and divmod operations for Fraction type by spelling out the numerator/denominator calculation, instead of instantiating and normalising Fractions along the way. This speeds up '%' and divmod() by 2-3x.
* bpo-35588: Also reimplement Fraction.__floordiv__() using integer operations to make it ~4x faster.
* Improve code formatting.
Co-Authored-By: scoder <stefan_ml@behnel.de>
* bpo-35588: Fix return type of divmod(): the result of the integer division should be an integer.
* bpo-35588: Further specialise __mod__() and inline the original helper function _flat_divmod() since it's no longer reused.
* bpo-35588: Add some tests with large numerators and/or denominators.
* bpo-35588: Use builtin "divmod()" function for implementing __divmod__() in order to simplify the implementation, even though performance results are mixed.
* Rremove accidentally added empty line.
* bpo-35588: Try to provide more informative output on test failures.
* bpo-35588: Improve wording in News entry.
Co-Authored-By: scoder <stefan_ml@behnel.de>
* Remove stray space.
Make mixed-type `%` and `//` operations involving `Fraction` and `float` objects behave like all other mixed-type arithmetic operations: first the `Fraction` object is converted to a `float`, then the `float` operation is performed as normal. This fixes some surprising corner cases, like `Fraction('1/3') % inf` giving a NaN.
Thanks Elias Zamaria for the patch.
I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux. The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.
the Fraction type doesn't know how to handle the comparison without
loss of accuracy. Also, make sure that comparisons between Fractions
and float infinities or nans do the right thing.

Working on issue #1762: Brought
./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from fractions import Fraction; f = Fraction(3, 2)' 'isinstance(3, Fraction); isinstance(f, Fraction)'
from 12.3 usec/loop to 3.44 usec/loop and
./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from fractions import Fraction' 'Fraction(3, 2)'
from 48.8 usec to 23.6 usec by avoiding genexps and sets in __instancecheck__
and inlining the common case from __subclasscheck__.

Performance optimizations on Fraction's constructor.

Change simple instances (in Fraction) of self.numerator and self.denominator to
self._numerator and self._denominator. This speeds abs() up from 12.2us to
10.8us and trunc() from 2.07us to 1.11us. This doesn't change _add and friends
because they're more complicated.
