Currently frozen modules do not have __file__ set. In their spec, origin is set to "frozen" and they are marked as not having a location. (Similarly, for frozen packages __path__ is set to an empty list.) However, for frozen stdlib modules we are able to extrapolate __file__ as long as we can determine the stdlib directory at runtime. (We now do so since gh-28586.) Having __file__ set is helpful for a number of reasons. Likewise, having a non-empty __path__ means we can import submodules of a frozen package from the filesystem (e.g. we could partially freeze the encodings module).
This change sets __file__ (and adds to __path__) for frozen stdlib modules. It uses sys._stdlibdir (from gh-28586) and the frozen module alias information (from gh-28655). All that work is done in FrozenImporter (in Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py).
Also, if a frozen module is imported before importlib is bootstrapped (during interpreter initialization) then we fix up that module and its spec during the importlib bootstrapping step (i.e. imporlib._bootstrap._setup()) to match what gets set by FrozenImporter, including setting the file info (if the stdlib dir is known). To facilitate this, modules imported using PyImport_ImportFrozenModule() have __origname__ set using the frozen module alias info. __origname__ is popped off during importlib bootstrap.
(To be clear, even with this change the new code to set __file__ during fixups in imporlib._bootstrap._setup() doesn't actually get triggered yet. This is because sys._stdlibdir hasn't been set yet in interpreter initialization at the point importlib is bootstrapped. However, we do fix up such modules at that point to otherwise match the result of importing through FrozenImporter, just not the __file__ and __path__ parts. Doing so will require changes in the order in which things happen during interpreter initialization. That can be addressed separately. Once it is, the file-related fixup code from this PR will kick in.)
Here are things this change does not do:
* set __file__ for non-stdlib modules (no way of knowing the parent dir)
* set __file__ if the stdlib dir is not known (nor assume the expense of finding it)
* relatedly, set __file__ if the stdlib is in a zip file
* verify that the filename set to __file__ actually exists (too expensive)
* update __path__ for frozen packages that alias a non-package (since there is no package dir)
Other things this change skips, but we may do later:
* set __file__ on modules imported using PyImport_ImportFrozenModule()
* set co_filename when we unmarshal the frozen code object while importing the module (e.g. in FrozenImporter.exec_module()) -- this would allow tracebacks to show source lines
* implement FrozenImporter.get_filename() and FrozenImporter.get_source()

In the list of generated frozen modules at the top of Tools/scripts/freeze_modules.py, you will find that some of the modules have a different name than the module (or .py file) that is actually frozen. Let's call each case an "alias". Aliases do not come into play until we get to the (generated) list of modules in Python/frozen.c. (The tool for freezing modules, Programs/_freeze_module, is only concerned with the source file, not the module it will be used for.)
Knowledge of which frozen modules are aliases (and the identity of the original module) normally isn't important. However, this information is valuable when we go to set __file__ on frozen stdlib modules. This change updates Tools/scripts/freeze_modules.py to map aliases to the original module name (or None if not a stdlib module) in Python/frozen.c. We also add a helper function in Python/import.c to look up a frozen module's alias and add the result of that function to the frozen info returned from find_frozen().

Before this change we end up duplicating effort and throwing away data in FrozenImporter.find_spec(). Now we do the work once in find_spec() and the only thing we do in FrozenImporter.exec_module() is turn the raw frozen data into a code object and then exec it.
We've added _imp.find_frozen(), add an arg to _imp.get_frozen_object(), and updated FrozenImporter. We've also moved some code around to reduce duplication, get a little more consistency in outcomes, and be more efficient.
Note that this change is mostly necessary if we want to set __file__ on frozen stdlib modules. (See https://bugs.python.org/issue21736.)

Implements a two steps check in `importlib._bootstrap._find_and_load()` to avoid locking when the module has been already imported and it's ready.

Using `importlib.__import__()`, after this, does show a big difference:
Before:
```
$ ./python -c 'import timeit; print(timeit.timeit("__import__(\"timeit\")", setup="from importlib import __import__"))'
15.92248619502061
```
After:
```
$ ./python -c 'import timeit; print(timeit.timeit("__import__(\"timeit\")", setup="from importlib import __import__"))'
1.206068897008663

This PR is part of PEP 657 and augments the compiler to emit ending
line numbers as well as starting and ending columns from the AST
into compiled code objects. This allows bytecodes to be correlated
to the exact source code ranges that generated them.
This information is made available through the following public APIs:
* The `co_positions` method on code objects.
* The C API function `PyCode_Addr2Location`.

Currently, if an arg value escapes (into the closure for an inner function) we end up allocating two indices in the fast locals even though only one gets used. Additionally, using the lower index would be better in some cases, such as with no-arg `super()`. To address this, we update the compiler to fix the offsets so each variable only gets one "fast local". As a consequence, now some cell offsets are interspersed with the locals (only when an arg escapes to an inner function).

This was reverted in GH-26596 (commit 6d518bb) due to some bad memory accesses.
* Add the MAKE_CELL opcode. (gh-26396)
The memory accesses have been fixed.

This moves logic out of the frame initialization code and into the compiler and eval loop. Doing so simplifies the runtime code and allows us to optimize it better.

A number of places in the code base (notably ceval.c and frameobject.c) rely on mapping variable names to indices in the frame "locals plus" array (AKA fast locals), and thus opargs. Currently the compiler indirectly encodes that information on the code object as the tuples co_varnames, co_cellvars, and co_freevars. At runtime the dependent code must calculate the proper mapping from those, which isn't ideal and impacts performance-sensitive sections. This is something we can easily address in the compiler instead.
This change addresses the situation by replacing internal use of co_varnames, etc. with a single combined tuple of names in locals-plus order, along with a minimal array mapping each to its kind (local vs. cell vs. free). These two new PyCodeObject fields, co_fastlocalnames and co_fastllocalkinds, are not exposed to Python code for now, but co_varnames, etc. are still available with the same values as before (though computed lazily).
Aside from the (mild) performance impact, there are a number of other benefits:
* there's now a clear, direct relationship between locals-plus and variables
* code that relies on the locals-plus-to-name mapping is simpler
* marshaled code objects are smaller and serialize/de-serialize faster
Also note that we can take this approach further by expanding the possible values in co_fastlocalkinds to include specific argument types (e.g. positional-only, kwargs). Doing so would allow further speed-ups in _PyEval_MakeFrameVector(), which is where args get unpacked into the locals-plus array. It would also allow us to shrink marshaled code objects even further.
