Added a new stable API function ``PyType_FromMetaclass``, which mirrors
the behavior of ``PyType_FromModuleAndSpec`` except that it takes an
additional metaclass argument. This is, e.g., useful for language
binding tools that need to store additional information in the type
object.
After GH-15623 deleted `generrmap.c`, a related mak-file stopped working. The mak contains generrmap-related rules only so it should be removed altogether.
Further search for `errmap\.mak|generrmap` regex through content of CPython files shows no dangling reference left.
Since generrmap is already effectively removed, this pull request contains no blurp.
When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
Freelists for object structs can now be disabled. A new ``configure``
option ``--without-freelists`` can be used to disable all freelists
except empty tuple singleton. Internal Py*_MAXFREELIST macros can now
be defined as 0 without causing compiler warnings and segfaults.

Remove fallbacks for missing round(), copysign() and hypot() in
Python/pymath.c. Python now requires these functions to build.
These fallbacks were needed on Visual Studio 2012 and older. They are
no longer needed since Visual Stuido 2013. Python is now built with
Visual Studio 2017 or newer since Python 3.6.
Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing
isinf(), isnan() and isfinite() functions.
Remove the Py_FORCE_DOUBLE() macro. It was used by the
Py_IS_INFINITY() macro.
Changes:
* Remove Py_IS_NAN(), Py_IS_INFINITY() and Py_IS_FINITE()
in PC/pyconfig.h.
* Remove the _Py_force_double() function.
* configure no longer checks if math.h defines isinf(), isnan() and
isfinite().
During runtime startup we figure out the stdlib dir but currently throw that information away. This change preserves it and exposes it via PyConfig.stdlib_dir, _Py_GetStdlibDir(), and sys._stdlib_dir.
