Éric Araujo 4234ad4266 Fix typos and wording in what’s new 3.2. 
- The entry about shutil.copytree is just a revert of r84524 which
looks like an unfinished edition.
- The use of gender-neutral language (s/his/their/) removes the
implicit assumption that programmer == male (change agreed by Antoine).
- Other changes should be uncontroversial fixes.

I haven’t rewrapped under 80 lines to keep the diffs readable; I’ll
rewrap later.

Victor Stinner 47fcb5b4c3 Issue #9542: Create PyUnicode_FSDecoder() function 
It's a ParseTuple converter: decode bytes objects to unicode using
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(); str objects are output as-is.

 * Don't specify surrogateescape error handler in the comments nor the
   documentation, but PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and
   PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() because these functions use strict error handler
   for the mbcs encoding (on Windows).
 * Remove PyUnicode_FSConverter() comment in unicodeobject.c to avoid
   inconsistency with unicodeobject.h.

R. David Murray 88c49fe320 #9444: use first of prefix_chars for help opt instead of raising error 
An argparse option parser created with a prefix_chars that did not
include a '-' would happily add -h and --help options, and then throw
an error when it tried to format the help because the - was an invalid
prefix character.  This patch makes it use the first character of
prefix_chars as the character for the help options if and only if '-'
is not one of the valid prefix_chars.

Fix by Theodore Turocy, unit tests by Catherine Devlin.
