bpo-42236: os.device_encoding() respects UTF-8 Mode (GH-23119)
On Unix, the os.device_encoding() function now returns 'UTF-8' rather
than the device encoding if the Python UTF-8 Mode is enabled.

bpo-42236: Enhance init and encoding documentation (GH-23109)
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.

* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
  to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
  Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:

  * Document command line options and environment variables
  * Document default values.

* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
  handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
  PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.

bpo-40094: Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() (GH-19201)
Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function to convert a wait status to an
exitcode.

Suggest waitstatus_to_exitcode() usage in the documentation when
appropriate.

Use waitstatus_to_exitcode() in:

* multiprocessing, os, subprocess and _bootsubprocess modules;
* test.support.wait_process();
* setup.py: run_command();
* and many tests.

bpo-39395: putenv() and unsetenv() always available (GH-18135)
The os.putenv() and os.unsetenv() functions are now always available.

On non-Windows platforms, Python now requires setenv() and unsetenv()
functions to build.

Remove putenv_dict from posixmodule.c: it's not longer needed.

Phil Connell b22030073b bpo-38778: Document that os.fork is not allowed in subinterpreters (GH-17123)
Small docs update for [bpo-34651](https://bugs.python.org/issue34651).

Other references to fork (e.g. the PyOS.*Fork functions or discussions of fork() when embedding Python) point back to os.fork, so I don't think any other updates are needed.

* Replaced some 1/0 with True/False if it corresponds the code.

bpo-37412: os.getcwdb() now uses UTF-8 on Windows (GH-14396)
The os.getcwdb() function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows,
rather than the ANSI code page: see PEP 529 for the rationale. The
function is no longer deprecated on Windows.

os.getcwd() and os.getcwdb() now detect integer overflow on memory
allocations. On Unix, these functions properly report MemoryError on
memory allocation failure.

Victor Stinner 5f0c5d92ef Enhance os.scandir() doc
Issue #26248, patch written by Ben Hoyt:

1) Clarify that the return values of is_dir()/is_file()/etc are cached
   separately for follow_symlinks True and False.
2) Be more specific about when the functions require a system call, and how it
   relates to caching and follow_symlinks.
3) DRY up common stuff between is_dir and is_file by saying "Caching, system
   calls made, and exceptions raised are as per is_dir" in is_file.
4) Tweak to the first paragraph of docs for is_dir/is_file to simplify: assume
   the follow_symlinks=True default, then note the follow_symlinks=False
   non-default case after.

upset when the functions were no longer simply the same function under
different names.

initial patch.
