A previous commit broke a check in sysconfig when building cpython itself.
This caused builds of the standard library modules to search a wrong
location (the installed location rather than the source directory) for
header files with the net effect that a ``make install``
incorrectly caused all extension modules to be rebuilt again and
with incorrect include file paths.
When building Python, we need two distinct "include" directories:
- source .h files
- install target for .h files
Note that this doesn't matter except when building Python from source.
Historically:
- source .h files were in the distutils scheme under 'include'
- the install directory was in the distutils.command.install scheme
under 'headers'
GH-24549 merged these; sysconfig is now the single source of truth and
distutils is derived from it.
This commit introduces a "secret" scheme path, 'headers', which contains
the install target. It is only present when building Python.
The distutils code uses it if present, and falls back to 'include'.

With this patch, `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES` are loaded from
`sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES`.
The distutils module is deprecated and will be removed in 3.12 (PEP 632).
This change makes the `sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES` the single point of truth
for install schemes while keeping `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES`
exactly the same. If we, during the transition to the sysconfig, change
something, this makes sure that it also propagates to distutils until the
module gets removed.
Moreover, as discussed [on Discourse], Linux distros need to patch
distutils/sysconfig to make sure the packages will land in proper locations.
This patch makes it easier because it leaves only one location where install
schemes are defined which is much easier to patch/adjust.

The implementation is slightly different than the plan but I think it's the
easiest way how to do it and it also makes the downstream patch simple,
flexible and easy to maintain.
It's also necessary to implement this before setuptools starts bundling
the distutils module so the default install schemes stay in the standard library.
The removed code from sysconfig does not seem to have any negative effect
because, honestly, it seems that nothing actually uses the install schemes
from sysconfig at all. There were many big changes in these modules where
they were trying to include packaging in stdlib and then reverted that.
Also, the test of distutils install command does not count with the different
locations which is good evidence that the reason to have this piece of code
is no longer valid.

The distutils bdist_wininst command deprecated in Python 3.8 has been
removed. The distutils bidst_wheel command is now recommended to
distribute binary packages on Windows.
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py
* Remove PC/bdist_wininst/ project
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/wininst-*.exe programs
* Remove all references to bdist_wininst
- Fix upload test on systems that blocks MD5
- Add SHA2-256 and Blake2b-256 digests based on new Warehous and twine
specs.

Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.
It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but
the `author_email` field was missing, erroneously a warning message was
displayed that the `author_email` field is required.
The specs do not require the `author_email`field:
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author
The same is valid for `maintainer` and `maintainer_email`.
The warning message has been adjusted.

bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.
Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.
It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
bpo-28552, bpo-7774: Fix distutils.sysconfig if sys.executable is
None or an empty string: use os.getcwd() to initialize project_base.
Fix also the distutils build command: don't use sys.executable if
it's evaluated as false (None or empty string).
Command line options for the xlc compiler behave differently from gcc and clang,
so skip this test case for now when xlc is the compiler.
Patch by aixtools (Michael Felt)
platform.dist() is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.8. The
upload command itself should also not be used to upload to PyPI, but
while it continues to exist it should not use deprecated functions.
Two kind of mistakes:
1. Missed space. After concatenating there is no space between words.
2. Missed comma. Causes unintentional concatenating in a list of strings.
* Replace "master process" with "parent process"
* Replace "master option mappings" with "main option mappings"
* Replace "master pattern object" with "main pattern object"
* ssl: replace "master" with "server"
* And some other similar changes
