This is a follow up of GH-124974. Only Glibc needed a fix.
Now the returned value is a string consisting of semicolon-separated
symbols on all Posix platforms.

gh-125767: Fix pickling and copying of super objects (GH-125781)
Previously, copying a super object returned a copy of the instance
invoking super(). Pickling a super object could pickle the instance
invoking super() or fail, depending on its type and protocol.

Now deep copying returns a new super object and pickling pickles the super
object. Shallow copying returns the same super object.

Doc: C API: Move `tp_dealloc` paragraph to `tp_dealloc` section (#125737)
It looks like commit 43cf44ddcc
(gh-31501) accidentally moved the paragraph to the `tp_finalize`
section when the intent was to move it to the `tp_dealloc` section
(according to the commit message).

Also:
  * Convert the paragraph to a warning.
  * Apply the appropriate font style to `tp_dealloc`.
  * Unlinkify the first mention of `tp_dealloc` since the paragraph is
    already in the `tp_dealloc` section.

gh-124694: Add concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor (gh-124548)
This is an implementation of InterpreterPoolExecutor that builds on ThreadPoolExecutor.

(Note that this is not tied to PEP 734, which is strictly about adding a new stdlib module.)

Possible future improvements:

* support passing a script for the initializer or to submit()
* support passing (most) arbitrary functions without pickling
* support passing closures
* optionally exec functions against __main__ instead of the their original module

gh-124872: Replace enter/exit events with "switched" (#125532)
Users want to know when the current context switches to a different
context object.  Right now this happens when and only when a context
is entered or exited, so the enter and exit events are synonymous with
"switched".  However, if the changes proposed for gh-99633 are
implemented, the current context will also switch for reasons other
than context enter or exit.  Since users actually care about context
switches and not enter or exit, replace the enter and exit events with
a single switched event.

The former exit event was emitted just before exiting the context.
The new switched event is emitted after the context is exited to match
the semantics users expect of an event with a past-tense name.  If
users need the ability to clean up before the switch takes effect,
another event type can be added in the future.  It is not added here
because YAGNI.

I skipped 0 in the enum as a matter of practice.  Skipping 0 makes it
easier to troubleshoot when code forgets to set zeroed memory, and it
aligns with best practices for other tools (e.g.,
https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/dos-donts/#unspecified-enum).

Doc: Fix suggested usage of `-X gil=0` in the glossary (#125366)
Currently, the "global interpreter lock" entry in the glossary mentions
that `-X gil 0` can be used to disable the GIL [1]. However, this is
invalid; the correct usage should be `-X gil=0`.

    $ python -X gil 0 -c 'print("Hello, world")'
    Fatal Python error: config_read_gil: PYTHON_GIL / -X gil must be "0" or "1"
    Python runtime state: preinitialized

    $ python -X gil=0 -c 'print("Hello, world")'
    Hello, world

Prefer "similar" over "equivalent" in tutorial (#125343)
In the datastructures tutorial doc, some operations are described as
"equivalent to" others. This has led to some user-confusion -- at
least in the Discourse forums -- about cases in which the operations
differ.

This change doesn't systematically eliminate the word "equivalent"
from the tutorial. It just substitutes "similar to" in several cases
in which "equivalent to" could mislead users into expecting exact
equivalence.

gh-125260: Change the default ``gzip.compress()`` mtime to 0 (#125261)
This follows GNU gzip, which defaults to using 0 as the mtime
for compressing stdin, where no file mtime is involved.

This makes the output of gzip.compress() deterministic by default,
greatly helping reproducible builds.

bpo-34206: Improve docs and test coverage for pre-init functions (#8023)
- move the Py_Main documentation from the very high level API section
  to the initialization and finalization section
- make it clear that it encapsulates a full Py_Initialize/Finalize
  cycle of its own
- point out that exactly which settings will be read and applied
  correctly when Py_Main is called after a separate runtime
  initialization call is version dependent
- be explicit that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
  initialization
- actually test that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
  initialization
- flush stdout in the embedding tests that run code so it appears
  in the expected order when running with "-vv"
- make "-vv" on the subinterpreter embedding tests less spammy

gh-70870: Clarify dual usage of 'free variable' (#122545)
The term "free variable" has unfortunately become genuinely
ambiguous over the years (presumably due to the names of
some relevant code object instance attributes).

While we can't eliminate that ambiguity at this late date, we can
at least alert people to the potential ambiguity by describing
both the formal meaning of the term and the common
alternative use as a direct synonym for "closure variable".

gh-87135: Hang non-main threads that attempt to acquire the GIL during finalization (GH-105805)
Instead of surprise crashes and memory corruption, we now hang threads that attempt to re-enter the Python interpreter after Python runtime finalization has started. These are typically daemon threads (our long standing mis-feature) but could also be threads spawned by extension modules that then try to call into Python. This marks the `PyThread_exit_thread` public C API as deprecated as there is no plausible safe way to accomplish that on any supported platform in the face of things like C++ code with finalizers anywhere on a thread's stack. Doing this was the least bad option.

gh-115528: Update language reference for PEP 646 (#121181)
To recap: the objective is to make starred expressions valid in `subscription`,
which is used for generics: `Generic[...]`, `list[...]`, etc.

What _is_ gramatically valid in such contexts? Seemingly any of the following.
(At least, none of the following throw `SyntaxError` in a 3.12.3 REPL.)

    Generic[x]
    Generic[*x]
    Generic[*x, y]
    Generic[y, *x]
    Generic[x := 1]
    Generic[x := 1, y := 2]

So introducting

    flexible_expression: expression | assignment_expression | starred_item

end then switching `subscription` to use `flexible_expression` sorts that.

But then we need to field `yield` - for which any of the following are
apparently valid:

    yield x
    yield x,
    yield x, y
    yield *x,
    yield *x, *y

Introducing a separate `yield_list` is the simplest way I've been figure out to
do this - separating out the special case of `starred_item ,`.
