Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.
This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.
This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.
Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

MacOSX: detect the architectures supported by
Tk.framework and build _tkinter only for those
architectures.
This replaces the hardcoded solution that is no
longer valid now that 64-bit capable versions of
Tk are available on OSX.

Issue #6856: Add a filter keyword argument to TarFile.add().
The filter argument must be a function that takes a TarInfo
object argument, changes it and returns it again. If the
function returns None the TarInfo object will be excluded
from the archive.
The exclude argument is deprecated from now on, because it
does something similar but is not as flexible.

Issue #6846: bytearray.pop was returning ints in the range [-128, 128)
instead of [0, 256). Thanks Hagen Fürstenau for the report and fix.

Issue #6054: Do not normalize stored pathnames.
No longer use tarfile.normpath() on pathnames. Store pathnames
unchanged, i.e. do not remove "./", "../" and "//" occurrences.
However, still convert absolute to relative paths.
