bpo-34206: Improve docs and test coverage for pre-init functions (#8023)
- move the Py_Main documentation from the very high level API section
  to the initialization and finalization section
- make it clear that it encapsulates a full Py_Initialize/Finalize
  cycle of its own
- point out that exactly which settings will be read and applied
  correctly when Py_Main is called after a separate runtime
  initialization call is version dependent
- be explicit that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
  initialization
- actually test that Py_IsInitialized can be called prior to
  initialization
- flush stdout in the embedding tests that run code so it appears
  in the expected order when running with "-vv"
- make "-vv" on the subinterpreter embedding tests less spammy

Minor fixes to C API docs (GH-31501)
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs

It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to
put it with PyErr_SetImportError.

* C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags

It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags.

* textual fixes to unicode docs

* Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section

* __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable

bpo-40939: Remove documentation for `PyParser_*` & add porting notes (GH-26855)
I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

Victor Stinner 2fe9bac4dc Close #16742: Fix misuse of memory allocations in PyOS_Readline()
The GIL must be held to call PyMem_Malloc(), whereas PyOS_Readline() releases
the GIL to read input.

The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must now be a string
allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL if an error
occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or PyMem_Realloc().

Fixing this issue was required to setup a hook on PyMem_Malloc(), for example
using the tracemalloc module.

PyOS_Readline() copies the result of PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer() into a new
buffer allocated by PyMem_Malloc(). So the public API of PyOS_Readline() does
not change.
