This PR will make the following changes to the [_Built-in Functions_](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html) chapter of the library documentation:
- improve hyperlinks in Sphinx roles (trailing 's' belong to hyperlinks).

Note that the support is not actually enabled yet, and so we won't be publishing these packages. However, for those who want to build it themselves (even by reusing the Azure Pipelines definition), it's now relatively easy to enable.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
* Add GCState type for readability
* gcmodule.c now gets its gcstate from tstate
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats() now expects tstate rather than runtime
* Rename "state" to "gcstate" for readability: to avoid confusion
between "state" and "tstate" for example.
* collect() now only expects tstate: it gets gcstate from tstate.
* Pass tstate to _PyErr_xxx() functions
Clear the current thread later in the Python finalization.
* The PyInterpreterState_Delete() function is now responsible
to call PyThreadState_Swap(NULL).
* The tstate_delete_common() function is now responsible to clear the
"autoTSSKey" thread local storage and it only clears it once the
thread state is fully cleared. It allows to still get the current
thread from TSS in tstate_delete_common().
* Factorize code in common between Py_FinalizeEx() and
Py_EndInterpreter().
* Py_EndInterpreter() now also calls _PyWarnings_Fini().
* Call _PyExc_Fini() and _PyGC_Fini() later in the finalization.
This exposes a Linux-specific syscall for sending a signal to a process
identified by a file descriptor rather than a pid.
For simplicity, we don't support the siginfo_t parameter to the syscall. This
parameter allows implementing a pidfd version of rt_sigqueueinfo(2), which
Python also doesn't support.
The PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros are empty:
they have been doing nothing for the last year (since commit
735ae8d139), so stop using them.
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
When building Python in some uncommon platforms there are some known tests that will fail. Right now, the test suite has the ability to ignore entire tests using the -x option and to receive a filter file using the --matchfile filter. The problem with the --matchfile option is that it receives a file with patterns to accept and when you want to ignore a couple of tests and subtests, is too cumbersome to lists ALL tests that are not the ones that you want to accept and he problem with -x is that is not easy to ignore just a subtests that fail and the whole test needs to be ignored.
For these reasons, add a new option to allow to ignore a list of test and subtests for these situations.
Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.
See for example GH-13135
This PR implements a fix for `multiprocessing.Process` objects; the error occurs when Processes are created using either `fork` or `forkserver` as the `start_method`.
In these instances, the `MainThread` of the newly created `Process` object retains all attributes from its parent's `MainThread` object, including the `native_id` attribute. The resulting behavior is such that the new process' `MainThread` captures an incorrect/outdated `native_id` (the parent's instead of its own).
This change forces the Process object to update its `native_id` attribute during the bootstrap process.
