Fixed ambigious reverse mappings. Added many new mappings. Import mapping
is no longer applied to modules already mapped with full name mapping.
Added tests for compatible pickling and unpickling and for consistency of
_compat_pickle mappings.

annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
Initial patch by Merlijn van Deen.
I've added a few unrelated docstring fixes in the patch while I was at
it, which makes the documentation for pickle a bit more consistent.
PyTuple_New(0) always returns the same empty tuple from its free list anyway,
so we are not saving much here. Plus, the code where this was used is on
uncommon run paths.
I have noticed a race-condition occurring on one of the buildbots because of
this optimization. The function called may release the GIL which means
multiple threads may end up accessing the shared tuple. I could fix it up by
storing the tuple to the Pickler and Unipickler object again, but honestly it
really not worth the trouble.
I ran many benchmarks and the only time the optimization helps is when using a
fin-memory file, like io.BytesIO on which reads are super cheap, combined with
pickle protocol less than 4. Even in this contrived case, the speedup is a
about 5%. For everything else, this optimization does not provide any
noticable improvements.
This doesn't make any functional changes to the exisiting implementation. The
conversion did help however uncover documentation bugs. The best thing about
this conversion is less C code to maintain by hand.
