A PyThreadState can be in one of many states in its lifecycle, represented by some status value. Those statuses haven't been particularly clear, so we're addressing that here. Specifically:
* made the distinct lifecycle statuses clear on PyThreadState
* identified expectations of how various lifecycle-related functions relate to status
* noted the various places where those expectations don't match the actual behavior
At some point we'll need to address the mismatches.
(This change also includes some cleanup.)

To use this, ensure that clang support was selected in Visual Studio Installer, then set the PlatformToolset environment variable to "ClangCL" and build as normal from the command line.
It remains unsupported, but at least is possible now for experimentation.
Fixes a reference counting issue with `ctypes.Structure` when a `from_param()` method call is used and the structure size is larger than a C pointer `sizeof(void*)`.
This problem existed for a very long time, but became more apparent in 3.8+ by change likely due to garbage collection cleanup timing changes.
When getaddrinfo returns an error, the output pointer is in an unknown state
Don't call freeaddrinfo on it. See the issue for discussion and details with
links to reasoning. _Most_ libc getaddrinfo implementations never modify the
output pointer unless they are returning success.

When testing element truth values, emit a DeprecationWarning in all implementations.
This had emitted a FutureWarning in the rarely used python-only implementation since ~2.7 and has always been documented as a behavior not to rely on.
Matching an element in a tree search but having it test False can be unexpected. Raising the warning enables making the choice to finally raise an exception for this ambiguous behavior in the future.
The objective of this change is to help make the GILState-related code easier to understand. This mostly involves moving code around and some semantically equivalent refactors. However, there are a also a small number of slight changes in structure and behavior:
* tstate_current is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is initialized earlier
* autoTSSkey is re-initialized (after fork) earlier

Have _posixsubprocess.c stop using boolean flags to say if gid and uid values were supplied and action is required. Such an implicit "either initialized or look somewhere else" confused both the reader (another mental connection to constantly track between functions) and a compiler (warnings on potentially uninitialized variables being passed). Instead, we can utilize a special group/user id as a flag value -1 defined by POSIX but used nowhere else. Namely:
gid: call_setgid = False → gid = -1
uid: call_setuid = False → uid = -1
groups: call_setgroups = False → groups = NULL (obtained with (groups_list != Py_None) ? groups : NULL)
This PR is required for #94519.
This PR removes the `volatile` qualifier on various intermediate quantities
in the `math.fsum` implementation, and updates the notes preceding the
algorithm accordingly (as well as fixing some of the exsting notes). See
the linked issue #100833 for discussion.
Not comprehensive, best effort warning. There are cases when threads exist on some platforms that this code cannot detect. macOS when API permissions allow and Linux with a readable /proc procfs present are the currently supported cases where a warning should show up reliably.
Starting with a DeprecationWarning for now, it is less disruptive than something like RuntimeWarning and most likely to only be seen in people's CI tests - a good place to start with this messaging.
