builtins and extension module functions and methods that expect boolean values for parameters now accept any Python object rather than just a bool or int type. This is more consistent with how native Python code itself behaves.
We only statically initialize for core code and builtin modules. Extension modules still create
the tuple at runtime. We'll solve that part of interpreter isolation separately.
This change includes generated code. The non-generated changes are in:
* Tools/clinic/clinic.py
* Python/getargs.c
* Include/cpython/modsupport.h
* Makefile.pre.in (re-generate global strings after running clinic)
* very minor tweaks to Modules/_codecsmodule.c and Python/Python-tokenize.c
All other changes are generated code (clinic, global strings).
They support now splitting escape sequences between input chunks.
Add the third parameter "final" in codecs.raw_unicode_escape_decode().
It is True by default to match the former behavior.

In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS in Argument Clinic generated code.
The function '_PyArg_ParseStack()' and
'_PyArg_UnpackStack' were failing (with error
"XXX() takes Y argument (Z given)") before
the function '_PyArg_NoStackKeywords()' was called.
Thus, the latter did not raise its more meaningful
error : "XXX() takes no keyword arguments".
