bpo-38733: PyErr_Occurred() caller must hold the GIL (GH-17080)
bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==
NULL" test.

Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.

_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.

Jeroen Demeyer bf17d41826 bpo-37645: add new function _PyObject_FunctionStr() (GH-14890)
Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

Maxwell A McKinnon cf57cabef8 bpo-32689: Updates shutil.move to allow for Path objects to be used as source arg (GH-15326)
Important work originally done by @emilyemorehouse two years ago and nearly ready to go in.

This bug has affected many people and in some cases has been a dealbreaker to the adoption of the otherwise wonderful pathlib and PEP519. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33625931/copy-file-with-pathlib-in-python.

This adds the outstanding test request from that PR @vstinner (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5393).

Test fails without the change, passes with it, along with every other test in test_shutil.

Some variants were experimented with to make the one line change and the most performant one was picked.

# Performance Considerations
Is it considered poor form to get rid of _basename altogether and make use of pathlib in the move function? I'm not sure if the idea is for all these modules to strictly avoid circular dependencies. They are already using os.path which is just as much a citizen in 3.8 as pathlib right?

e.g.

`real_dst = os.path.join(dst, _basename(src))`
becomes
`real_dst = Path(dst) / Path(src).name`

I've looked around and familiarized myself, and I now think importing pathlib here is fine. My only remaining concern is that of performance.

Here's the performance difference for this step. 

```
In [46]: %timeit real_dst = os.path.join("a/b/c", _basename('b/'))
2.71 µs ± 62.6 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

In [47]: %timeit real_dst = Path("a/b/c") / Path('b/').name
12.4 µs ± 65.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
```

Is 10us significant or insignificant compared to the least expensive operation this function will do? I don't know. Let's find out.

```
In [55]: %timeit os.rename('/tmp/a/a.txt', '/tmp/a/b.txt'); os.rename('/tmp/a/b.txt', '/tmp/a/a.txt')
124 µs ± 2.18 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
```
62us to rename. 10us seems significant enough that we wouldn't want to favor the Path sugar suggestion. 16% speed decrease from adding the 10us.

What do people think? I was hoping to get to use pathlib.Path here, but I suspect for this low level move, it should be as fast as possible, and 16% is not worth one line of sugary code to me.

Lumír 'Frenzy' Balhar 8e7bb991de bpo-38112: Compileall improvements (GH-16012)
* Raise the limit of maximum path depth to actual  recursion limit

* Add posibilities to adjust a path compiled in .pyc  file.

Now, you can:
- Strip a part of path from a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-s /test /test/build/real/test.py" → "build/real/test.py"
- Append some new path to a beggining of path into compiled file
   example "-p /boo real/test.py" → "/boo/real/test.py"

You can also use both options in the same time. In that case,
striping is done before appending.

* Add a possibility to specify multiple optimization levels

Each optimization level then leads to separated compiled file.
Use `action='append'` instead of `nargs='+'` for the -o option.
Instead of `-o 0 1 2`, specify `-o 0 -o 1 -o 2`. It's more to type,
but much more explicit.

* Add a symlinks limitation feature

This feature allows us to limit byte-compilation of symbolic
links if they are pointing outside specified dir (build root
for example).

Kyle Stanley ff603f6c3d bpo-37635: Update arg name for seek() in IO tutorial (GH-16147)
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek). 

The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):

```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``.  The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument.  A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point.  *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```

For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.

Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

Brad 3fb1363fe8 Overhaul datetime documentation (GH-13410)
This is a restructuring of the datetime documentation to hopefully make
them more user-friendly and approachable to new users without losing any
of the detail.

Changes include:
 - Creating dedicated subsections for some concepts such as:
    - "Constants"
    - "Naive vs Aware"
    - "Determining if an Object is Aware"
 - Give 'naive vs aware' its own subsection
 - Give 'constants' their own subsection
 - Overhauling the strftime-strptime section by:
    - Breaking it into logical, linkable, and digestable parts
    - Adding a high-level comparison table
    - Moving the technical detail to bottom: readers come to this
      section primarily to remind themselves to things:
      - How do I write the format code for X?
      - strptime/strftime: which one is which again?
 - Touching up fromisoformat + isoformat sections by:
    - Revising fromisoformat + isoformat for date, time, and
      datetime
    - Adding basic examples
    - Enforcing consistency about putting formats (i.e. ``HH:MM``)
      in double backticks.  This was previously done in some places
      but not all
    - Putting long 'supported formats', on their own line to improve
      readability
 - Moving the 'seealso' section to the top and add a link to dateutil
    Rationale: This doesn't really belong nested under the
    'constants' section.  Let readers know right away that
    datetime is one of several related tools.
 - Moving common features of several types into one place:
    Previously, each type went out of its way to note separately
    that it was hashable and picklable.  These can be brought
    into one single place that is more prominent.
 - Reducing some verbose explanations to improve readability
 - Breaking up long paragraphs into digestable chunks
 - Displaying longer "equivalent to" examples, as short code blocks
 - Using the dot notation for datetime/time classes:
    Use :class:`.time` and :class:`.datetime` rather than :class:`time` and
    :class:`datetime`; otherwise, the generated links will route to the
    respective modules, not classes.
 - Rewording the tzinfo class description
    The top paragraph should get straight to the point of telling the reader
    what subclasses of tzinfo _do_.  Previously, that was hidden in a later
    paragraph.
 - Adding a note on .today() versus .now()
 - Rearranging and expanding example blocks, including:
    - Moved long, multiline inline examples to standalone examples
    - Simplified the example block for timedelta arithmetic:
        - Broke the example into two logical sections:
          1. normalization/parameter 'merging'
          2. timedelta arithmetic
        - Reduced the complexity of the some of the examples.  Show
          reasonable, real-world uses cases that are easy to follow
          along with and progres in difficult slightly.
    - Broke up the example sections for date and datetime sections by putting
      the easy examples first, progressing to more esoteric situations and
      breaking it up into logical sections based on what the methods are
      doing at a high level.
    - Simplified the KabulTz example:
        - Put the class definition itself into a non-REPL block since there is
          no interactive output involved there
        - Briefly explained what's happening before launching into the code
        - Broke the example section into visually separate chunks
 - Various whitespace, formatting, style and grammar fixes including:
    - Consistently using backctics for 'date_string' formats
    - Consistently using one space after periods.
    - Consistently using bold for vocab terms
    - Consistently using italics when referring to params:
      See https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#id4
    - Using '::' to lead into code blocks
        Per https://devguide.python.org/documenting/#source-code, this will
        let the reader use the 'expand/collapse' top-right button for REPL
        blocks to hide or show the prompt.
    - Using consistent captialization schemes
    - Removing use of the default role
    - Put 'example' blocks in Markdown subsections

This is a combination of 66 commits.
