Fix the threading._shutdown() function when the threading module was
imported first from a thread different than the main thread: no
longer log an error at Python exit.
Fix a race condition in the Thread.join() method of the threading
module. If the function is interrupted by a signal and the signal
handler raises an exception, make sure that the thread remains in a
consistent state to prevent a deadlock.
Having `operator.call(obj, arg)` mean `type(obj).__call__(obj, arg)` is
consistent with the other dunder operators. The semantics with `*args,
**kwargs` then follow naturally from the single-arg semantics.
On Windows, time.sleep() now uses a waitable timer which has a
resolution of 100 ns (10^-7 sec). Previously, it had a solution of 1
ms (10^-3 sec).
* On Windows, time.sleep() now calls PyErr_CheckSignals() before
resetting the SIGINT event.
* Add _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds() function.
* Complete and update time.sleep() documentation.

Detect refcount bugs in C extensions when the empty Unicode string
singleton is destroyed by mistake.
* Move forward declarations to the top of unicodeobject.c.
* Simplifiy unicode_is_singleton().
TestResult methods addFailure(), addError(), addSkip() and
addSubTest() are now called immediately after raising an exception
in test or finishing a subtest. Previously they were called only
after finishing the test clean up.
unittest.TestCase.debug() raises now a SkipTest if the class or
the test method are decorated with the skipping decorator.
Previously it only raised a SkipTest if the test method was decorated
with other decorator in addition to the skipping decorator, or
if SkipTest was explicitly raised in the test or setup methods.
This can occur when the zip file gets deleted, you call zipimport.zipimporter.invalidate_cache(), and then try to use zipimport.zipimporter.find_spec() (i.e. you left the zip file path on sys.path).
Add the Py_ALWAYS_INLINE macro to ask the compiler to always inline a
static inline function. The compiler can ignore it and decides to not
inline the function.
* "fail*" and "assert*" aliases of TestCase methods.
* Broken from start TestCase method assertDictContainsSubset().
* Ignored TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule() parameter use_load_tests.
* Old alias _TextTestResult of TextTestResult.
This will enable us to drop the frozen module header files from the repository.
It does currently cause many source files to be built twice, which just takes more time. For whoever comes to fix this in the future, the files shared between freeze_module and pythoncore should be put into a static library that is consumed by both.
Doing this provides significant performance gains for runtime startup (~15% with all the imported modules frozen). We don't yet freeze all the imported modules because there are a few hiccups in the build systems we need to sort out first. (See bpo-45186 and bpo-45188.)
Note that in PR GH-28320 we added a command-line flag (-X frozen_modules=[on|off]) that allows users to opt out of (or into) using frozen modules. The default is still "off" but we will change it to "on" as soon as we can do it in a way that does not cause contributors pain.

Currently we freeze several modules into the runtime. For each of these modules it is essential to bootstrapping the runtime that they be frozen. Any other stdlib module that we later freeze into the runtime is not essential. We can just as well import from the .py file. This PR lets users explicitly choose which should be used, with the new "-X frozen_modules=[on|off]" CLI flag. The default is "off" for now.

In the configparser module, these have been deprecated since Python 3.2:
* the SafeConfigParser class,
* the filename property of the ParsingError class,
* the readfp method of the ConfigParser class,
In Unix operating systems, time.sleep() now uses the clock_nanosleep() function,
if available, which allows to sleep for an interval specified with nanosecond precision.

* Constructors of subclasses of some buitin classes (e.g. tuple, list,
frozenset) no longer accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
* Subclass of set can now define a __new__() method with additional
keyword parameters without overriding also __init__().
