For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
Remove the HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro (moved to the internal
C API).
* Move HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro to pycore_pymath.h.
* Replace PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR macro with _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR
macro which is always defined. gcc -Wundef emits a warning when
using _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR but the macro is not defined, if
pycore_pymath.h include was forgotten.
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs
It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to
put it with PyErr_SetImportError.
* C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags
It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags.
* textual fixes to unicode docs
* Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section
* __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable
The locale.getdefaultlocale() function is deprecated and will be
removed in Python 3.13. Use locale.setlocale(),
locale.getpreferredencoding(False) and locale.getlocale() functions
instead.
There are several changes:
1. We now don't explicitly check for any base / sub types, because new name check covers it
2. I've also checked that `no_type_check` do not modify foreign functions. It was the same as with `type`s
3. I've also covered `except TypeError` in `no_type_check` with a simple test case, it was not covered at all
4. I also felt like adding `lambda` test is a good idea: because `lambda` is a bit of both in class bodies: a function and an assignment

Add a link to the `match` statement from its section in the tutorial.
This should be backported to 3.10.

This PR for the documentation of the [html.parser](https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html) module will
- fix a terminology mistake (‘start of a tag’ -> ‘start tag of an element’);
- mention the parameter names of the `HTMLParser.handle_*` methods where missing.
* `precision` field is a decimal integer
* clarify that stated limitations are on presentation type
rather than input value type. Especially misleading is
"precision is not allowed for integer values", since integer
value input to a format like `.1f` is fine.
* regarding max field size, replace "non-number" with "string",
which is the only non-numeric presentation type

Also add .pyi to the python extensions in the "File-open" and "File-save" dialogues.
Add util.py to contain objects that are used in multiple idlelib modules
and have no dependencies on any of them.
