* Add support for the BOLT post-link binary optimizer
Using [bolt](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/bolt)
provides a fairly large speedup without any code or functionality
changes. It provides roughly a 1% speedup on pyperformance, and a
4% improvement on the Pyston web macrobenchmarks.
It is gated behind an `--enable-bolt` configure arg because not all
toolchains and environments are supported. It has been tested on a
Linux x86_64 toolchain, using llvm-bolt built from the LLVM 14.0.6
sources (their binary distribution of this version did not include bolt).
Compared to [a previous attempt](https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/224),
this commit uses bolt's preferred "instrumentation" approach, as well as adds some non-PIE
flags which enable much better optimizations from bolt.
The effects of this change are a bit more dependent on CPU microarchitecture
than other changes, since it optimizes i-cache behavior which seems
to be a bit more variable between architectures. The 1%/4% numbers
were collected on an Intel Skylake CPU, and on an AMD Zen 3 CPU I
got a slightly larger speedup (2%/4%), and on a c6i.xlarge EC2 instance
I got a slightly lower speedup (1%/3%).
The low speedup on pyperformance is not entirely unexpected, because
BOLT improves i-cache behavior, and the benchmarks in the pyperformance
suite are small and tend to fit in i-cache.
This change uses the existing pgo profiling task (`python -m test --pgo`),
though I was able to measure about a 1% macrobenchmark improvement by
using the macrobenchmarks as the training task. I personally think that
both the PGO and BOLT tasks should be updated to use macrobenchmarks,
but for the sake of splitting up the work this PR uses the existing pgo task.

- add member() and nonmember() functions
- add deprecation warning for internal classes in enums not
becoming members in 3.13

Since the underlying file-like objects (either `io.BytesIO`,
or a true file object) all implement the `io.IOBase`
interface, the `SpooledTemporaryFile` should as well.
Additionally, since the underlying file object will either be an
instance of an `io.BufferedIOBase` (for binary mode) or an
`io.TextIOBase` (for text mode), methods for these classes were also
implemented.
In every case, the required methods and properties are simply delegated
to the underlying file object.

GH-26091 added the _typevar_types and _paramspec_tvars instance
variables to _GenericAlias. However, they were not propagated
consistently. This commit addresses the most prominent deficiency
identified in bpo-46581 (namely their absence from
_GenericAlias.copy_with), but there could be others.

For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

It fixes the "Text File Busy" OSError when using 'rmtree' on a
windows-managed filesystem in via the VirtualBox shared folder
(and possible other scenarios like a windows-managed network file
system).
The `module` parameter carries semantic information about the forward ref.
Forward refs are different if they refer to different module even if they
have the same name. This affects the `__eq__`, `__repr__` and `__hash__` methods.

Added new internal functions to compute mod without also computing the quotient.
The loops can be leaner then, which leads to modestly but reliably faster execution in contexts that know they don't need the quotient.
Code by Jeremiah Vivian (Pascual).
This addresses [bpo-45554]() by expanding the `exitcode` documentation to also describe what `exitcode` will be in cases of normal termination, `sys.exit()` called, and on uncaught exceptions.

The doctest module raised an error if a docstring contained an example that
attempted to access a classmethod property. (Stacking '@classmethod' on top of
`@property` has been supported since Python 3.9; see
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html#class-methods.)

On non-Linux POSIX platforms, like FreeBSD or macOS,
the FD used to read a forked PTY may signal its exit not
by raising an error but by sending empty data to the read
syscall. This case wasn't handled, leading to hanging
`pty.spawn` calls.
