bpo-42967: [security] Address a web cache-poisoning issue reported in urllib.parse.parse_qsl().
urllib.parse will only us "&" as query string separator by default instead of both ";" and "&" as allowed in earlier versions. An optional argument seperator with default value "&" is added to specify the separator.

The AbstractBasicAuthHandler class of the urllib.request module uses
an inefficient regular expression which can be exploited by an
attacker to cause a denial of service. Fix the regex to prevent the
catastrophic backtracking. Vulnerability reported by Ben Caller
and Matt Schwager.
AbstractBasicAuthHandler of urllib.request now parses all
WWW-Authenticate HTTP headers and accepts multiple challenges per
header: use the realm of the first Basic challenge.

* bpo-39548: Fix handling of 'WWW-Authenticate' header for Digest authentication
- The 'qop' value in the 'WWW-Authenticate' header is optional. The
presence of 'qop' in the header should be checked before its value
is parsed with 'split'.

* fix HTTP Digest handling in request.py
There is a bug triggered when server replies to a request with `WWW-Authenticate: Digest` where `qop="auth,auth-int"` rather than mere `qop="auth"`. Having both `auth` and `auth-int` is legitimate according to the `qop-options` rule in §3.2.1 of [[https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt|RFC 2617]]:
> qop-options = "qop" "=" <"> 1#qop-value <">
> qop-value = "auth" | "auth-int" | token
> **qop-options**: [...] If present, it is a quoted string **of one or more** tokens indicating the "quality of protection" values supported by the server. The value `"auth"` indicates authentication; the value `"auth-int"` indicates authentication with integrity protection
This is description confirmed by the definition of the [//n//]`#`[//m//]//rule// extended-BNF pattern defined in §2.1 of [[https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt|RFC 2616]] as 'a comma-separated list of //rule// with at least //n// and at most //m// items'.
When this reply is parsed by `get_authorization`, request.py only tests for identity with `'auth'`, failing to recognize it as one of the supported modes the server announced, and claims that `"qop 'auth,auth-int' is not supported"`.

Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135

Revert parsing decision from bpo-754016 in favor of the documented
consensus in bpo-16932 of how to treat strings without a // to

Fixes some mistakes and misleadings in the quote function docstring:
- reserved chars are never actually used by quote code, unreserved chars are
- reserved chars were wrong and incomplete
- mentioned that use-case is not minimal quoting wrt. RFC, but cautious quoting
Adding `max_num_fields` to `cgi.FieldStorage` to make DOS attacks harder by
limiting the number of `MiniFieldStorage` objects created by `FieldStorage`.
The urllib.robotparser's __str__ representation now includes wildcard
entries and the "Crawl-delay" and "Request-rate" fields. Also removes extra
newlines that were being appended to the end of the string.
The current regex based splitting produces a wrong result. For example::
http://abc#@def
Web browsers parse that URL as ``http://abc/#@def``, that is, the host
is ``abc``, the path is ``/``, and the fragment is ``#@def``.
* bpo-16285: Update urllib quoting to RFC 3986
urllib.parse.quote is now based on RFC 3986, and hence
includes `'~'` in the set of characters that is not escaped
by default.
Patch by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath.
In urllib.request, suffixes in no_proxy environment variable with
leading dots could match related hostnames again (e.g. .b.c matches a.b.c).
Patch by Milan Oberkirch.
The deprecation include manual creation of SSLSocket and certfile/keyfile
(or similar) in ftplib, httplib, imaplib, smtplib, poplib and urllib.
ssl.wrap_socket() is not marked as deprecated yet.
When the body object is a file, its size is no longer determined with
fstat(), since that can report the wrong result (e.g. reading from a pipe).
Instead, determine the size using seek(), or fall back to chunked encoding
for unseekable files.
Also, change the logic for detecting text files to check for TextIOBase
inheritance, rather than inspecting the “mode” attribute, which may not
exist (e.g. BytesIO and StringIO). The Content-Length for text files is no
longer determined ahead of time, because the original logic could have been
wrong depending on the codec and newline translation settings.
Patch by Demian Brecht and Rolf Krahl, with a few tweaks by me.

Some servers send Location header fields with non-ASCII bytes, but "http.
client" requires the request target to be ASCII-encodable, otherwise a
UnicodeEncodeError is raised. Based on patch by Christian Heimes.
Python 2 does not suffer any problem because it allows non-ASCII bytes in the
HTTP request target.
Issue #26804: urllib.request will prefer lower_case proxy environment variables
over UPPER_CASE or Mixed_Case ones.
Patch contributed by Hans-Peter Jansen. Reviewed by Martin Panter and Senthil Kumaran.
This fix is a superset of the functionality introduced by the issue #19494
enhancement, and supersedes that fix. Instead of a new handler, we have a new
password manager that tracks whether we should send the auth for a given uri.
This allows us to say "always send", satisfying #19494, or track that we've
succeeded in auth and send the creds right away on every *subsequent* request.
The support for using the password manager is added to AbstractBasicAuth,
which means the proxy handler also now can handle prior auth if passed
the new password manager.
Patch by Akshit Khurana, docs mostly by me.
