We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init

In [Lib/test/support/import_helper.py](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/support/import_helper.py), the function `make_legacy_pyc` makes a call to `os.rename` which can fail when the source and target live on different devices. This happens (for example) when `PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX` is set to a directory anywhere on disk, while a ramdisk is mounted on `/tmp` (the latter of which is the default on various Linux distros). Replacing `os.rename` with `shutil.move` fixes this.

The calendar.LocaleTextCalendar and calendar.LocaleHTMLCalendar
classes module now use locale.getlocale(), instead of using
locale.getdefaultlocale(), if no locale is specified.
Cast PY_TIMEOUT_MAX to double, not to _PyTime_t.
Fix the clang warning:
Modules/_threadmodule.c:1648:26: warning: implicit conversion from
'_PyTime_t' (aka 'long') to 'double' changes value from
9223372036854775 to 9223372036854776
[-Wimplicit-const-int-float-conversion]
double timeout_max = (_PyTime_t)PY_TIMEOUT_MAX * 1e-6;

ctypes.CFUNCTYPE() and ctypes.WINFUNCTYPE() now fail to create the
type if its "_argtypes_" member contains too many arguments.
Previously, the error was only raised when calling a function.
Change also how CFUNCTYPE() and WINFUNCTYPE() handle KeyError to
prevent creating a chain of exceptions if ctypes.CFuncPtr raises an
error.
bytesobject.c, bytearrayobject.c and unicodeobject.c now define all
macros used by stringlib, to avoid using undefined macros.
Fix "gcc -Wundef" warnings.
skip_if_buggy_ucrt_strfptime() of test.support now uses
locale.getpreferredencoding(False) instead of
locale.getdefaultlocale() to get the Windows code page.
encodings registers the _alias_mbcs() codec search function before
the search_function() codec search function. Previously, the
_alias_mbcs() was never used.
Fix the test_codecs.test_mbcs_alias() test: use the current ANSI code
page, not a fake ANSI code page number.
Remove the test_site.test_aliasing_mbcs() test: the alias is now
implemented in the encodings module, no longer in the site module.
Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing a
NAN constant, or the __builtin_nan() built-in function. If a platform
does not support Not-a-Number (NaN), the Py_NO_NAN macro can be
defined in the pyconfig.h file.

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.
