Many users won't realise the implications the OpenSSL 1.0.2
minimum version requirement has when it comes to Ubuntu
14.04 and Debian 8, so expand on that in the platform support
section.
Also explicitly note the non-ASCII-based locale requirement for
full Unicode text handling support on non-Windows systems.
While locale coercion and UTF-8 mode turned out to
be complementary ideas rather than competing ones,
it isn't immediately obvious why it's useful to
have both, or how they interact at runtime.
This updates both the Python 3.7 What's New doc
and the PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE and PYTHONUTF8
documentation in an attempt to clarify that
relationship:
- in the respective What's New sections, add a closing paragraph
explaining which problem each one solves, and pointing to the
other PEP's section for the specific aspects it relies on the other
PEP to solve
- use "locale-aware mode" as a more descriptive term for the
default non-UTF-8 mode
- improve wording conistenccy between the PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE
and PYTHONUTF8 docs when they cover the same thing (mostly
related to legacy locale detection and setting the standard
stream error handler)
- improve the description of the locale coercion trigger conditions
(including pointing out that setting LC_ALL turns off locale coercion)
- port the full description of the UTF-8 mode behaviour changes
from PEP 540 into the PYTHONUTF8 documentation
- be explicit that PYTHONIOENCODING still overrides the settings
for the standard streams
- mention concrete examples of things that do and don't get their
text encoding assumptions adjusted by the two text encoding
assumption override techniques
Remove the docstring attribute of AST types and restore docstring
expression as a first stmt in their body.

TLS 1.3 behaves slightly different than TLS 1.2. Session tickets and TLS
client cert auth are now handled after the initialy handshake. Tests now
either send/recv data to trigger session and client certs. Or tests
ignore ConnectionResetError / BrokenPipeError on the server side to
handle clients that force-close the socket fd.
To test TLS 1.3, OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre7-dev (git master + OpenSSL PR
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/6340) is required.

The pydoc CLI assumed -m pydoc would add the empty string
to sys.path, and hence got confused when it switched to
adding the full initial working directory instead.
This refactors the pydoc CLI path manipulation to be
more testable, and ensures it won't accidentally
remove the standard library directory containing
pydoc itself from sys.path.
Historically, -m added the empty string as sys.path
zero, meaning it resolved imports against the current
working directory, the same way -c and the interactive
prompt do.
This changes the sys.path initialisation to add the
*starting* working directory as sys.path[0] instead,
such that changes to the working directory while the
program is running will have no effect on imports
when using the -m switch.
- new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions
- restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize
- updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be
called before Py_Initialize
- also enhanced the existing embedding test cases
to check for expected settings in the sys module

OpenSSL 1.1 has introduced a new API to set the minimum and maximum
supported protocol version. The API is easier to use than the old
OP_NO_TLS1 option flags, too.
Since OpenSSL has no call to set minimum version to highest supported,
the implementation emulate maximum_version = MINIMUM_SUPPORTED and
minimum_version = MAXIMUM_SUPPORTED by figuring out the minumum and
maximum supported version at compile time.

Direct instantiation of SSLSocket and SSLObject objects is now prohibited.
The constructors were never documented, tested, or designed as public
constructors. The SSLSocket constructor had limitations. For example it was
not possible to enabled hostname verification except was
ssl_version=PROTOCOL_TLS_CLIENT with cert_reqs=CERT_REQUIRED.
SSLContext.wrap_socket() and SSLContext.wrap_bio are the recommended API
to construct SSLSocket and SSLObject instances. ssl.wrap_socket() is
also deprecated.
The only test case for direct instantiation was added a couple of days
ago for IDNA testing.

The ssl module function ssl.wrap_socket() has been de-emphasized
and deprecated in favor of the more secure and efficient
SSLContext.wrap_socket() method.

* bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes
Misc fixes and workarounds for compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 and
TLS 1.3 support. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, Python negotiates TLS 1.3 by
default. Some test cases only apply to TLS 1.2. Other tests currently
fail because the threaded or async test servers stop after failure.
I'm going to address these issues when OpenSSL 1.1.1 reaches beta.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 has added a new option OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT for TLS
1.3. The feature is enabled by default for maximum compatibility with
broken middle boxes. Users should be able to disable the hack and CPython's test suite needs
it to verify default options.

Previously, the ssl module stored international domain names (IDNs)
as U-labels. This is problematic for a number of reasons -- for
example, it made it impossible for users to use a different version
of IDNA than the one built into Python.
After this change, we always convert to A-labels as soon as possible,
and use them for all internal processing. In particular, server_hostname
attribute is now an A-label, and on the server side there's a new
sni_callback that receives the SNI servername as an A-label rather than
a U-label.
