The term "free variable" has unfortunately become genuinely
ambiguous over the years (presumably due to the names of
some relevant code object instance attributes).
While we can't eliminate that ambiguity at this late date, we can
at least alert people to the potential ambiguity by describing
both the formal meaning of the term and the common
alternative use as a direct synonym for "closure variable".

* Setting the __module__ attribute for a class now removes the
__firstlineno__ item from the type's dict.
* The _collections_abc and _pydecimal modules now completely replace the
collections.abc and decimal modules after importing them. This
allows to get the source of classes and functions defined in these
modules.
* inspect.findsource() now checks whether the first line number for a
class is out of bound.
To recap: the objective is to make starred expressions valid in `subscription`,
which is used for generics: `Generic[...]`, `list[...]`, etc.
What _is_ gramatically valid in such contexts? Seemingly any of the following.
(At least, none of the following throw `SyntaxError` in a 3.12.3 REPL.)
Generic[x]
Generic[*x]
Generic[*x, y]
Generic[y, *x]
Generic[x := 1]
Generic[x := 1, y := 2]
So introducting
flexible_expression: expression | assignment_expression | starred_item
end then switching `subscription` to use `flexible_expression` sorts that.
But then we need to field `yield` - for which any of the following are
apparently valid:
yield x
yield x,
yield x, y
yield *x,
yield *x, *y
Introducing a separate `yield_list` is the simplest way I've been figure out to
do this - separating out the special case of `starred_item ,`.

Using a standard library class makes this test difficult to maintain
as other tests and other parts of the stdlib may create subclasses,
which may still be alive when this test runs depending on GC timing.
Closes#123242. The real criterion is that the attribute does not
exist on heap types, but I don't think we should discuss heap vs.
static types in the language reference.

The code changes for warning related to `__package__` landed in Python 3.12. `__cached__` doesn't have any changes as it isn't used but only set by the import system.
Remove the delegation of `int` to the `__trunc__` special method: `int` will now only delegate to `__int__` and `__index__` (in that order). `__trunc__` continues to exist, but its sole purpose is to support `math.trunc`.

PEP 667's description of the planned changes to PyEval_GetLocals
was internally inconsistent when accepted, so the docs added for
gh-74929 didn't match either the current behaviour or the intended
behaviour once gh-118934 is fixed.
This PR updates the documentation and 3.13 What's New to match the
intended behaviour (once gh-118934 is fixed).
It also tidies up lingering references to `f_locals` always being a
dictionary (this hasn't been true since at least when custom
namespace support for class statement execution was added)
* expand on What's New entry for PEP 667 (including porting notes)
* define 'optimized scope' as a glossary term
* cover comprehensions and generator expressions in locals() docs
* review all mentions of "locals" in documentation (updating if needed)
* review all mentions of "f_locals" in documentation (updating if needed)
This is *not* sufficient for the final 3.13 release, but it will do for beta 1:
- What's new entry
- Updated changelog entry (news blurb)
- Mention the proxy for f_globals in the datamodel and Python frame object docs
This doesn't have any C API details (what's new refers to the PEP).
In Lexical Analysis f-strings section, NULL in the description
of 'literal character' means '\0'. In the format_spec grammar
production, it is wrong with that meaning and redundant if
instead interpreted as <nothing>. Remove it there.
