As noted in gh-117983, the import importlib.util can be triggered at
interpreter startup under some circumstances, so adding threading makes
it a potentially obligatory load.
Lazy loading is not used in the stdlib, so this removes an unnecessary
load for the majority of users and slightly increases the cost of the
first lazily loaded module.
An obligatory threading load breaks gevent, which monkeypatches the
stdlib. Although unsupported, there doesn't seem to be an offsetting
benefit to breaking their use case.
For reference, here are benchmarks for the current main branch:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.util"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.util"
Time (mean ± σ): 9.7 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 7.7 ms, System: 1.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 8.4 ms … 13.1 ms 313 runs
```
And with this patch:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c "import importlib.util"'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c "import importlib.util"
Time (mean ± σ): 8.4 ms ± 0.7 ms [User: 6.8 ms, System: 1.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 7.2 ms … 11.7 ms 352 runs
```
Compare to:
```
❯ hyperfine -w 8 './python -c pass'
Benchmark 1: ./python -c pass
Time (mean ± σ): 7.6 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 5.9 ms, System: 1.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 6.7 ms … 11.3 ms 390 runs
```
This roughly halves the import time of importlib.util.
This amends 6988ff02a5: memory allocation for
stginfo->ffi_type_pointer.elements in PyCSimpleType_init() should be
more generic (perhaps someday fmt->pffi_type->elements will be not a
two-elements array).
It should finally resolve#61103.

Add more offsets to _Py_DebugOffsets
We add a few more offsets that are required by some out-of-process
tools, such as [Austin](https://github.com/p403n1x87/austin).
Check for `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER` when calling `_winapi.CopyFile2()` and
raise `UnsupportedOperation`. In `Path.copy()`, handle this exception and
fall back to the `PathBase.copy()` implementation.
* Move get_signal_name() from test.libregrtest to test.support.
* Use get_signal_name() in support.script_helper.
* support.script_helper now decodes stdout and stderr from UTF-8,
instead of ASCII, if a command failed.
Refactor the fast Unicode hash check into `_PyObject_HashFast` and use relaxed
atomic loads in the free-threaded build.
After this change, the TSAN doesn't report data races for this method.
When creating the JUnit XML file, regrtest now escapes characters
which are invalid in XML, such as the chr(27) control character used
in ANSI escape sequences.
1. Use pkg-config to check for ncursesw/panelw. If that fails, use
pkg-config to check for ncurses/panel.
2. Regardless of pkg-config output, search for curses/panel headers, so
we're sure we have all defines in pyconfig.h.
3. Regardless of pkg-config output, check if libncurses or libncursesw
contains the 'initscr' symbol; if it does _and_ pkg-config failed
earlier, add the resulting -llib linker option to CURSES_LIBS.
Ditto for 'update_panels' and PANEL_LIBS.
4. Wrap the rest of the checks with WITH_SAVE_ENV and make sure we're
using updated LIBS and CPPFLAGS for those.
Add the PY_CHECK_CURSES convenience macro.
