PyMutex is a one byte lock with fast, inlineable lock and unlock functions for the common uncontended case. The design is based on WebKit's WTF::Lock.
PyMutex is built using the _PyParkingLot APIs, which provides a cross-platform futex-like API (based on WebKit's WTF::ParkingLot). This internal API will be used for building other synchronization primitives used to implement PEP 703, such as one-time initialization and events.
This also includes tests and a mini benchmark in Tools/lockbench/lockbench.py to compare with the existing PyThread_type_lock.
Uncontended acquisition + release:
* Linux (x86-64): PyMutex: 11 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 44 ns
* macOS (arm64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 18 ns
* Windows (x86-64): PyMutex: 13 ns, PyThread_type_lock: 38 ns
PR Overview:
The primary purpose of this PR is to implement PyMutex, but there are a number of support pieces (described below).
* PyMutex: A 1-byte lock that doesn't require memory allocation to initialize and is generally faster than the existing PyThread_type_lock. The API is internal only for now.
* _PyParking_Lot: A futex-like API based on the API of the same name in WebKit. Used to implement PyMutex.
* _PyRawMutex: A word sized lock used to implement _PyParking_Lot.
* PyEvent: A one time event. This was used a bunch in the "nogil" fork and is useful for testing the PyMutex implementation, so I've included it as part of the PR.
* pycore_llist.h: Defines common operations on doubly-linked list. Not strictly necessary (could do the list operations manually), but they come up frequently in the "nogil" fork. ( Similar to https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?queue)

There is a WIP proposal to enable webassembly stack switching which have been
implemented in v8:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-promise-integration
It is not possible to switch stacks that contain JS frames so the Emscripten JS
trampolines that allow calling functions with the wrong number of arguments
don't work in this case. However, the js-promise-integration proposal requires
the [type reflection for Wasm/JS API](https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-types)
proposal, which allows us to actually count the number of arguments a function
expects.
For better compatibility with stack switching, this PR checks if type reflection
is available, and if so we use a switch block to decide the appropriate
signature. If type reflection is unavailable, we should use the current EMJS
trampoline.
We cache the function argument counts since when I didn't cache them performance
was negatively affected.

I must have overlooked this when refactoring the code generator.
The Tier 1 interpreter contained a few silly things like
```
goto resume_frame;
STACK_SHRINK(1);
```
(and other variations, some where the unconditional `goto` was hidden in a macro).
* Rename SAVE_IP to _SET_IP
* Rename EXIT_TRACE to _EXIT_TRACE
* Rename SAVE_CURRENT_IP to _SAVE_CURRENT_IP
* Rename INSERT to _INSERT (This is for Ken Jin's abstract interpreter)
* Rename IS_NONE to _IS_NONE
* Rename JUMP_TO_TOP to _JUMP_TO_TOP
This adds a 16-bit inline cache entry to the conditional branch instructions POP_JUMP_IF_{FALSE,TRUE,NONE,NOT_NONE} and their instrumented variants, which is used to keep track of the branch direction.
Each time we encounter these instructions we shift the cache entry left by one and set the bottom bit to whether we jumped.
Then when it's time to translate such a branch to Tier 2 uops, we use the bit count from the cache entry to decided whether to continue translating the "didn't jump" branch or the "jumped" branch.
The counter is initialized to a pattern of alternating ones and zeros to avoid bias.
The .pyc file magic number is updated. There's a new test, some fixes for existing tests, and a few miscellaneous cleanups.
Fix _thread.start_new_thread() race condition. If a thread is created
during Python finalization, the newly spawned thread now exits
immediately instead of trying to access freed memory and lead to a
crash.
thread_run() calls PyEval_AcquireThread() which checks if the thread
must exit. The problem was that tstate was dereferenced earlier in
_PyThreadState_Bind() which leads to a crash most of the time.
Move _PyThreadState_CheckConsistency() from thread_run() to
_PyThreadState_Bind().
thread_run() of _threadmodule.c now calls
_PyThreadState_CheckConsistency() to check if tstate is a dangling
pointer when Python is built in debug mode.
Rename ceval_gil.c is_tstate_valid() to
_PyThreadState_CheckConsistency() to reuse it in _threadmodule.c.
Symbols of the C API should be prefixed by "Py_" to avoid conflict
with existing names in 3rd party C extensions on "#include <Python.h>".
test.pythoninfo now logs Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT constant and other
_testcapi and _testinternalcapi constants.
Statistics gathering is now off by default. Use the "-X pystats"
command line option or set the new PYTHONSTATS environment variable
to 1 to turn statistics gathering on at Python startup.
Statistics are no longer dumped at exit if statistics gathering was
off or statistics have been cleared.
Changes:
* Add PYTHONSTATS environment variable.
* sys._stats_dump() now returns False if statistics are not dumped
because they are all equal to zero.
* Add PyConfig._pystats member.
* Add tests on sys functions and on setting PyConfig._pystats to 1.
* Add Include/cpython/pystats.h and Include/internal/pycore_pystats.h
header files.
* Rename '_py_stats' variable to '_Py_stats'.
* Exclude Include/cpython/pystats.h from the Py_LIMITED_API.
* Move pystats.h include from object.h to Python.h.
* Add _Py_StatsOn() and _Py_StatsOff() functions. Remove
'_py_stats_struct' variable from the API: make it static in
specialize.c.
* Document API in Include/pystats.h and Include/cpython/pystats.h.
* Complete pystats documentation in Doc/using/configure.rst.
* Don't write "all zeros" stats: if _stats_off() and _stats_clear()
or _stats_dump() were called.
* _PyEval_Fini() now always call _Py_PrintSpecializationStats() which
does nothing if stats are all zeros.

Move the private _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() functions to the
internal C API (pycore_pyerrors.h).
Move write_unraisable_exc() from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi.
Remove <ctype.h> in C files which don't use it; only sre.c and
_decimal.c still use it.
Remove _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE code from pyport.h:
* Code added by commit b5047fd019
in 2004 for MacOSX and FreeBSD.
* Test removed by commit 52ddaefb6b
in 2007, since Python str type now uses locale independent
functions like Py_ISALPHA() and Py_TOLOWER() and the Unicode
database.
Modules/_sre/sre.c replaces _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE with new
functions: sre_isalnum(), sre_tolower(), sre_toupper().
Remove unused includes:
* _localemodule.c: remove <stdio.h>.
* getargs.c: remove <float.h>.
* dynload_win.c: remove <direct.h>, it no longer calls _getcwd()
since commit fb1f68ed7c (in 2001).
Python.h no longer includes <time.h>, <sys/select.h> and <sys/time.h>
standard header files.
* Add <time.h> include to xxsubtype.c.
* Add <sys/time.h> include to posixmodule.c and semaphore.c.
* readline.c includes <sys/select.h> instead of <sys/time.h>.
* resource.c no longer includes <time.h> and <sys/time.h>.
