gh-116167: Allow disabling the GIL with `PYTHON_GIL=0` or `-X gil=0` (#116338)
In free-threaded builds, running with `PYTHON_GIL=0` will now disable the
GIL. Follow-up issues track work to re-enable the GIL when loading an
incompatible extension, and to disable the GIL by default.

In order to support re-enabling the GIL at runtime, all GIL-related data
structures are initialized as usual, and disabling the GIL simply sets a flag
that causes `take_gil()` and `drop_gil()` to return early.

gh-57684: Add -P cmdline option and PYTHONSAFEPATH env var (#31542)
Add the -P command line option and the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment
variable to not prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path.

* Add sys.flags.safe_path flag.
* Add PyConfig.safe_path member.
* Programs/_bootstrap_python.c uses config.safe_path=0.
* Update subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle
  the -P command line option.
* Modules/getpath.py sets safe_path to 1 if a "._pth" file is
  present.

closes bpo-31650: PEP 552 (Deterministic pycs) implementation (#4575)
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.

While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:

- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
  regenerate hash-based pycs.

- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.

- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
  key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.

- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
  manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.

- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
  --check-hash-based-pycs.

- Tests and documentation for all of the above.

Christian Heimes ad73a9cf97 Issue #16400: Add command line option for isolated mode.
-I

    Run Python in isolated mode. This also implies -E and -s. In isolated mode
    sys.path contains neither the script’s directory nor the user’s
    site-packages directory. All PYTHON* environment variables are ignored,
    too. Further restrictions may be imposed to prevent the user from
    injecting malicious code.
