Microbenchmarks show 2-2.5x improvement. Built-in 'divmod' function
is now also ~10% faster.

Big thanks to Serhiy Storchaka, Mark Dickinson and Victor Stinner for
thorow code reviews and algorithms improvements.
Optimize bytes.__mod__(args) for integere formats: %d (%i, %u), %o, %x and %X.
_PyBytesWriter is now used to format directly the integer into the writer
buffer, instead of using a temporary bytes object.
Formatting is between 30% and 50% faster on a microbenchmark.
Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like
object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used.
This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error
messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the
buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required. (The
glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer
protocol in the docs.)
Reduce the base by the modulus when the base is larger than
the modulus. This can unboundedly speed the "startup costs"
of doing modular exponentiation, particularly in cases where
the base is much larger than the modulus. Original patch
by Armin Rigo, inspired by https://github.com/pyca/ed25519.
Merged from 3.3.

- replace 'long int' / 'long' by 'int'
- fix capitalization of "Python" in PyLong_AsUnsignedLong
- "is too large" -> "too large", for consistency with other messages.
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
* Add also min_char attribute to _PyUnicodeWriter structure (currently unused)
* _PyUnicodeWriter_Init() has no more argument (except the writer itself):
min_length and overallocate must be set explicitly
* In error handlers, only enable overallocation if the replacement string
is longer than 1 character
* CJK decoders don't use overallocation anymore
* Set min_length, instead of preallocating memory using
_PyUnicodeWriter_Prepare(), in many decoders
* _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeInternal() checks for integer overflow
I've left a couple of them in: zlib (third-party lib), getaddrinfo.c
(doesn't include Python.h, and probably obsolete), _sre.c (legitimate
use for the re.LOCALE flag), mpdecimal (needs to build without Python.h).
