The C99 functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() are now required
to build Python.
PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() no longer call Py_FatalError().
Previously, they called Py_FatalError() on a buffer overflow on platforms
which don't provide vsnprintf().
* bpo-29882: Add an efficient popcount method for integers
* Update 'sign bit' and versionadded in docs
* Add entry to whatsnew document
* Doc: use positive example, mention population count
* Minor cleanups of the core code
* Move popcount_digit closer to where it's used
* Use z instead of self after conversion
* Add 'absolute value' and 'population count' to docstring
* Fix clinic error about missing summary line
* Ensure popcount_digit is portable with 64-bit ints

Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Convert Py_REFCNT() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline functions.
They cannot be used as l-value anymore: use Py_SET_REFCNT() and
Py_SET_SIZE() to set an object reference count and size.
Replace &Py_SIZE(self) with &((PyVarObject*)self)->ob_size
in arraymodule.c.
This change is backward incompatible on purpose, to prepare the C API
for an opaque PyObject structure.
The reset_peak function sets the peak memory size to the current size,
representing a resetting of that metric. This allows for recording the
peak of specific sections of code, ignoring other code that may have
had a higher peak (since the most recent `tracemalloc.start()` or
tracemalloc.clear_traces()` call).
