gh-57684: Add -P cmdline option and PYTHONSAFEPATH env var (#31542)
Add the -P command line option and the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment
variable to not prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path.

* Add sys.flags.safe_path flag.
* Add PyConfig.safe_path member.
* Programs/_bootstrap_python.c uses config.safe_path=0.
* Update subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle
  the -P command line option.
* Modules/getpath.py sets safe_path to 1 if a "._pth" file is
  present.

gh-89479: Export _Py_GetSpecializationStats() internal function (#92011)
When Python is built with "./configure --enable-pystats" (if the
Py_STATS macro is defined), the _Py_GetSpecializationStats() function
must be exported, since it's used by the _opcode extension which is
built as a shared library.

bpo-45020: Default to using frozen modules unless running from source tree. (gh-28940)
The default was "off".  Switching it to "on" means users get the benefit of frozen stdlib modules without having to do anything.  There's a special-case for running-in-source-tree, so contributors don't get surprised when their stdlib changes don't get used.

bpo-45020: Add -X frozen_modules=[on|off] to explicitly control use of frozen modules. (gh-28320)
Currently we freeze several modules into the runtime. For each of these modules it is essential to bootstrapping the runtime that they be frozen. Any other stdlib module that we later freeze into the runtime is not essential. We can just as well import from the .py file.  This PR lets users explicitly choose which should be used, with the new "-X frozen_modules=[on|off]" CLI flag. The default is "off" for now.

bpo-43998: Default to TLS 1.2 and increase cipher suite security (GH-25778)
The ssl module now has more secure default settings. Ciphers without forward
secrecy or SHA-1 MAC are disabled by default. Security level 2 prohibits
weak RSA, DH, and ECC keys with less than 112 bits of security.
:class:`~ssl.SSLContext` defaults to minimum protocol version TLS 1.2.
Settings are based on Hynek Schlawack's research.
