This merges their code. They're backed by the same single HACL* static library, having them be a single module simplifies maintenance.
This should unbreak the wasm enscripten builds that currently fail due to linking in --whole-archive mode and the HACL* library appearing twice.
Long unnoticed error fixed: _sha512.SHA384Type was doubly assigned and was actually SHA512Type. Nobody depends on those internal names.
Also rename LIBHACL_ make vars to LIBHACL_SHA2_ in preperation for other future HACL things.
Replace the builtin hashlib implementations of SHA2-384 and SHA2-512
originally from LibTomCrypt with formally verified, side-channel resistant
code from the [HACL*](https://github.com/hacl-star/hacl-star/) project.
The builtins remain a fallback only used when OpenSSL does not provide them.
replacing hashlib primitives (for the non-OpenSSL case) with verified implementations from HACL*. This is the first PR in the series, and focuses specifically on SHA2-256 and SHA2-224.
This PR imports Hacl_Streaming_SHA2 into the Python tree. This is the HACL* implementation of SHA2, which combines a core implementation of SHA2 along with a layer of buffer management that allows updating the digest with any number of bytes. This supersedes the previous implementation in the tree.
@franziskuskiefer was kind enough to benchmark the changes: in addition to being verified (thus providing significant safety and security improvements), this implementation also provides a sizeable performance boost!

- rewire sha256module.c to use the HACL* implementation

Fix the gdbm_compat library detection logic to actually check for
-lgdbm_compat independently of the ndbm detection.
This fixes the build failure with `--with-dbmliborder=gdbm`,
and implicit fallback to ndbm with the default value.
When cross-compiling, the compile/run test for -pthread always fails so -pthread
will never be automatically set without an override from the cache. ac_cv_pthread
can already be overridden, so do the same thing for ac_cv_cxx_thread.
It has had no effect on non-macOS platforms for a long time, and has had
the non-obvious effect of invoking `pkg_config` and not setting
`-DUSING_APPLE_OS_LIBFFI` on macOS since GH-22855.
This got introduced in commit 5884449539
to determine if readline is already linked against curses or tinfo in
the setup.py, which is no longer present.
Added os.setns and os.unshare to easily switch between namespaces
on Linux.

⚠️⚠️ Note for reviewers, hackers and fellow systems/low-level/compiler engineers ⚠️⚠️
If you have a lot of experience with this kind of shenanigans and want to improve the **first** version, **please make a PR against my branch** or **reach out by email** or **suggest code changes directly on GitHub**.
If you have any **refinements or optimizations** please, wait until the first version is merged before starting hacking or proposing those so we can keep this PR productive.
- support EMSDK tot-upstream and git releases
- allow WASM assents for wasm64-emscripten and WASI. This makes single file distributions on WASI easier.
- decouple WASM assets from browser builds
* 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.

Automate WASM build with a new Python script. The script provides
several build profiles with configure flags for Emscripten flavors
and WASI. The script can detect and use Emscripten SDK and WASI SDK from
default locations or env vars.
``configure`` now detects Node arguments and creates HOSTRUNNER
arguments for Node 16. It also sets correct arguments for
``wasm64-emscripten``.

Remove the "configure --with-cxx-main" build option: it didn't work
for many years. Remove the MAINCC variable from configure and
Makefile.
The MAINCC variable was added by the issue gh-42471: commit
0f48d98b74. Previously, --with-cxx-main
was named --with-cxx.
Keep CXX and LDCXXSHARED variables, even if they are no longer used
by Python build system.
- check for ``dup()`` libc function
- handle missing ``F_DUPFD`` in ``dup2()`` replacement function
- add workaround for WASI libc bug in MSG_TRUNC
- ESHUTDOWN is missing, use EPIPE instead
- POLLPRI is missing, define as 0 (no-op)
