bpo-43047: logging.config formatters documentation update (GH-24358)
The documentation for some parts of the logging.config formatters has
fallen behind the code.  For example, the dictionary-schema section
does not list the "class" attribute, however it is discussed in the
file/ini discussion; and neither references the style argument which
has been added.

This modifies the dictionary-schema formatters documentation to list
the keys available and overall makes it clearer these are passed to
create a logging.Formatter object.

The logging.Formatter documentation describes the default values of
format/datefmt and the various formatting options.  Since we have now
more clearly described how the configuration is created via this type
of object, we remove the discussion in this document to avoid
duplication and rely on users reading the referenced logging.Formatter
documenation directly for such details.

Instead of duplicating the discussion for the two config types, the
file/ini section is modified to link back to the dictionary-schema
discussion, making it clear the same arguments are accepted.

bpo-38250: [Enum] single-bit flags are canonical (GH-24215)
Flag members are now divided by one-bit verses multi-bit, with multi-bit being treated as aliases. Iterating over a flag only returns the contained single-bit flags.

Iterating, repr(), and str() show members in definition order.

When constructing combined-member flags, any extra integer values are either discarded (CONFORM), turned into ints (EJECT) or treated as errors (STRICT). Flag classes can specify which of those three behaviors is desired:

>>> class Test(Flag, boundary=CONFORM):
...     ONE = 1
...     TWO = 2
...
>>> Test(5)
<Test.ONE: 1>

Besides the three above behaviors, there is also KEEP, which should not be used unless necessary -- for example, _convert_ specifies KEEP as there are flag sets in the stdlib that are incomplete and/or inconsistent (e.g. ssl.Options). KEEP will, as the name suggests, keep all bits; however, iterating over a flag with extra bits will only return the canonical flags contained, not the extra bits.

Iteration is now in member definition order.  If member definition order
matches increasing value order, then a more efficient method of flag
decomposition is used; otherwise, sort() is called on the results of
that method to get definition order.


``re`` module:

repr() has been modified to support as closely as possible its previous
output; the big difference is that inverted flags cannot be output as
before because the inversion operation now always returns the comparable
positive result; i.e.

   re.A|re.I|re.M|re.S is ~(re.L|re.U|re.S|re.T|re.DEBUG)

in both of the above terms, the ``value`` is 282.

re's tests have been updated to reflect the modifications to repr().

bpo-42856: Add --with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH configure option (GH-24210)
Add --with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH option to the ./configure script. If
specified, the ensurepip module looks for setuptools and pip wheel
packages in this directory: if both are present, these wheel packages
are used instead of ensurepip bundled wheel packages.

Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
/usr/share/python-wheels/ directory and don't install the
ensurepip._bundled package.

ensurepip: Remove unused runpy import.

bpo-42700: Swap descriptions in pyexpat.errors (GH-23876)
The descriptions of the `codes` and `messages` dictionaries in
`xml.parsers.expat.errors` were swapped, and this commit swaps them
back. For example, `codes` maps string descriptions of errors to numeric
error codes, not the other way around.

bpo-42388: Fix subprocess.check_output input=None when text=True (GH-23467)
When the modern text= spelling of the universal_newlines= parameter was added
for Python 3.7, check_output's special case around input=None was overlooked.
So it behaved differently with universal_newlines=True vs text=True.  This
reconciles the behavior to be consistent and adds a test to guarantee it.

Also clarifies the existing check_output documentation.

bpo-42669: Document that `except` rejects nested tuples (GH-23822)
In Python 2, it was possible to use `except` with a nested tuple, and occasionally natural.  For example, `zope.formlib.interfaces.InputErrors` is a tuple of several exception classes, and one might reasonably think to do something like this:

    try:
        self.getInputValue()
        return True
    except (InputErrors, SomethingElse):
        return False

As of Python 3.0, this raises `TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed` instead: one must instead either break it up into multiple `except` clauses or flatten the tuple.  However, the reference documentation was never updated to match this new restriction.  Make it clear that the definition is no longer recursive.
