They support now splitting escape sequences between input chunks.
Add the third parameter "final" in codecs.unicode_escape_decode().
It is True by default to match the former behavior.
Rename AST functions of pycore_ast.h to use the "_PyAST_" prefix.
Remove macros creating aliases without prefix. For example, Module()
becomes _PyAST_Module(). Update Grammar/python.gram to use
_PyAST_xxx() functions.
Remove the pyarena.h header file with functions:
* PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject()
These functions were undocumented, excluded from the limited C API,
and were only used internally by the compiler.
Add pycore_pyarena.h header. Rename functions:
* PyArena_New() => _PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free() => _PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc() => _PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject() => _PyArena_AddPyObject()
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyMem_MALLOC() with PyMem_Malloc()
* Replace PyMem_REALLOC() with PyMem_Realloc()
* Replace PyMem_FREE() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_Del() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_DEL() with PyMem_Free()
Modify also the PyMem_DEL() macro to use directly PyMem_Free().
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.

and, indeed, if `PyBytes_AsString` somehow fails, lines & cols will not be initialized.
This commit changes the parsing of f-string expressions with the new parser. The parser gets pre-fed with the location of the expression itself (not the f-string, which was what we were doing before). This allows us to completely skip the shifting of the AST nodes after the parsing is completed.
This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
