Instead of manually enumerating the global strings in generate_global_objects.py, we extrapolate the list from usage of _Py_ID() and _Py_STR() in the source files.
This is partly inspired by gh-31261.

When a static inline function is wrapped by a macro which casts its
arguments to the expected type, there is no need that the function
has a different name than the macro. Use the same name for the macro
and the function to avoid confusion.
Rename _PyUnicode_get_wstr_length() to PyUnicode_WSTR_LENGTH().
Don't rename static inline _Py_NewRef() and _Py_XNewRef() functions,
since the C API exports Py_NewRef() and Py_XNewRef() functions as
regular functions. The name cannot be reused in this case.
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init

This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

* Add PRECALL_FUNCTION opcode.
* Move 'call shape' varaibles into struct.
* Replace CALL_NO_KW and CALL_KW with KW_NAMES and CALL instructions.
* Specialize for builtin methods taking using the METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS protocol.
* Allow kwnames for specialized calls to builtin types.
* Specialize calls to tuple(arg) and str(arg).
Move _Py_GetAllocatedBlocks() and _PyObject_DebugMallocStats()
declarations to pycore_pymem.h. These functions are related to memory
allocators, not to the PyObject structure.
Add _PyUnicode_FiniTypes() function, called by
finalize_interp_types(). It clears these static types:
* EncodingMapType
* PyFieldNameIter_Type
* PyFormatterIter_Type
_PyStaticType_Dealloc() now does nothing if tp_subclasses
is not NULL.
Add 'static_exceptions' list to factorize code between
_PyExc_InitTypes() and _PyBuiltins_AddExceptions().
_PyExc_InitTypes() does nothing if it's not the main interpreter.
Sort exceptions in Lib/test/exception_hierarchy.txt.
* Move PyContext static types into object.c static_types list.
* Rename PyContextTokenMissing_Type to _PyContextTokenMissing_Type
and declare it in pycore_context.h.
* _PyHamtItems types are no long exported: replace PyAPI_DATA() with
extern.
Add _PyTypes_FiniTypes() best-effort function to clear static types:
don't deallocate a type if it still has subclasses.
remove_subclass() now sets tp_subclasses to NULL when removing the
last subclass.
"python -X showrefcount" now shows the total reference count after
clearing and destroyed the main Python interpreter. Previously, it
was shown before.
Py_FinalizeEx() now calls _PyDebug_PrintTotalRefs() after
finalize_interp_delete().
The _curses module now creates its ncurses_version type as a heap
type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static
type.
* Move _PyStructSequence_FiniType() definition to pycore_structseq.h.
* test.pythoninfo: log curses.ncurses_version.
Add _PyStructSequence_FiniType() and _PyStaticType_Dealloc()
functions to finalize a structseq static type in Py_Finalize().
Currrently, these functions do nothing if Python is built in release
mode.
Clear static types:
* AsyncGenHooksType: sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
* FlagsType: sys.flags
* FloatInfoType: sys.float_info
* Hash_InfoType: sys.hash_info
* Int_InfoType: sys.int_info
* ThreadInfoType: sys.thread_info
* UnraisableHookArgsType: sys.unraisablehook
* VersionInfoType: sys.version
* WindowsVersionType: sys.getwindowsversion()
* Add RETURN_GENERATOR and JUMP_NO_INTERRUPT opcodes.
* Trim frame and generator by word each.
* Minor refactor of frame.c
* Update test.test_sys to account for smaller frames.
* Treat generator functions as normal functions when evaluating and specializing.
Use common error message for non-string attribute name in the builtin
functions getattr and hasattr.
The special check no longer needed since Python 3.0.
Previously, the main interpreter was allocated on the heap during runtime initialization. Here we instead embed it into _PyRuntimeState, which means it is statically allocated as part of the _PyRuntime global. The same goes for the initial thread state (of each interpreter, including the main one). Consequently there are fewer allocations during runtime/interpreter init, fewer possible failures, and better memory locality.
FYI, this also helps efforts to consolidate globals, which in turns helps work on subinterpreter isolation.

The empty bytes object (b'') and the 256 one-character bytes objects were allocated at runtime init. Now we statically allocate and initialize them.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45953
Move almost all private functions of Include/cpython/fileutils.h to
the internal C API Include/internal/pycore_fileutils.h.
Only keep _Py_fopen_obj() in Include/cpython/fileutils.h, since it's
used by _testcapi which must not use the internal C API.
Move EncodeLocaleEx() and DecodeLocaleEx() functions from _testcapi
to _testinternalcapi, since the C API moved to the internal C API.
* Do not PUSH/POP traceback or type to the stack as part of exc_info
* Remove exc_traceback and exc_type from _PyErr_StackItem
* Add to what's new, because this change breaks things like Cython
The array of small PyLong objects has been statically declared. Here I also statically initialize them. Consequently they are no longer initialized dynamically during runtime init.
I've also moved them under a new sub-struct in _PyRuntimeState, in preparation for static allocation and initialization of other global objects.

The line numbers of actually calling the decorator functions of
functions and classes was wrong (as opposed to loading them, were they
have been correct previously too).

This defines VPATH differently in PGO instrumentation builds, to account for a different default output directory. It also adds sys._vpath on Windows to make the value available to sysconfig so that it can be used in tests.
When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it

Previously, basic initialization of PyInterprterState happened in PyInterpreterState_New() (along with allocation and adding the new interpreter to the runtime state). This prevented us from initializing interpreter states that were allocated separately (e.g. statically or in a free list). We've addressed that here by factoring out a separate function just for initialization. We've done the same for PyThreadState. _PyRuntimeState was sorted out when we added it since _PyRuntime is statically allocated. However, here we update the existing init code to line up with the functions for PyInterpreterState and PyThreadState.
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
PyInterpreterState_Main() is a plain function exposed in the public C-API. For internal usage we can take the more efficient approach in this PR.
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
This simplifies new_threadstate(). We also rename _PyThreadState_Init() to _PyThreadState_SetCurrent() to reflect what it actually does.
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
Doing so allows us to stop assigning various fields to `NULL` and 0. It also more closely matches the behavior of a static initializer.

This parallels _PyRuntimeState.interpreters. Doing this helps make it more clear what part of PyInterpreterState relates to its threads.
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
This falls into the category of keep-allocation-and-initialization separate. It also allows us to use _PyEval_InitState() safely in functions that return void.

* Make generator, coroutine and async gen structs all the same size.
* Store interpreter frame in generator (and coroutine). Reduces the number of allocations neeeded for a generator from two to one.
The build system now uses a :program:`_bootstrap_python` interpreter for
freezing and deepfreezing again. To speed up build process the build tools
:program:`_bootstrap_python` and :program:`_freeze_module` are no longer
build with LTO.
Cross building depends on a build Python interpreter, which must have same
version and bytecode as target host Python.
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
Rename PyConfig.no_debug_ranges to PyConfig.code_debug_ranges and
invert the value.
Document -X no_debug_ranges and PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES env var in
PyConfig.code_debug_ranges documentation.
* Split exit paths into exceptional and non-exceptional.
* Move exit tracing code to individual bytecodes.
* Wrap all trace entry and exit events in macros to make them clearer and easier to enhance.
* Move return sequence into RETURN_VALUE, YIELD_VALUE and YIELD_FROM. Distinguish between normal trace events and dtrace events.
* Make internal APIs that take PyFrameConstructor take a PyFunctionObject instead.
* Add reference to function to frame, borrow references to builtins and globals.
* Add COPY_FREE_VARS instruction to allow specialization of calls to inner functions.
Implement changes to build with deep-frozen modules on Windows.
Note that we now require Python 3.10 as the "bootstrap" or "host" Python.
This causes a modest startup speed (around 7%) on Windows.
