regrtest test runner: Add XML support to the refleak checker
(-R option).
* run_unittest() now stores XML elements as string, rather than
objects, in support.junit_xml_list.
* runtest_refleak() now saves/restores XML strings before/after
checking for reference leaks. Save XML into a temporary file.
* Remove description of issue fixed in 3.5 from autospeccing guide
* Make autospeccing note text more succint and lint whitespace
* Add linting changes (missed in last commit)

* Fix for email.generator.Generator with whitespace between encoded words.
email.generator.Generator currently does not handle whitespace between
encoded words correctly when the encoded words span multiple lines. The
current generator will create an encoded word for each line. If the end
of the line happens to correspond with the end real word in the
plaintext, the generator will place an unencoded space at the start of
the subsequent lines to represent the whitespace between the plaintext
words.
A compliant decoder will strip all the whitespace from between two
encoded words which leads to missing spaces in the round-tripped
output.
The fix for this is to make sure that whitespace between two encoded
words ends up inside of one or the other of the encoded words. This
fix places the space inside of the second encoded word.
A second problem happens with continuation lines. A continuation line that
starts with whitespace and is followed by a non-encoded word is fine because
the newline between such continuation lines is defined as condensing to
a single space character. When the continuation line starts with whitespace
followed by an encoded word, however, the RFCs specify that the word is run
together with the encoded word on the previous line. This is because normal
words are filded on syntactic breaks by encoded words are not.
The solution to this is to add the whitespace to the start of the encoded word
on the continuation line.
Test cases are from #92081
* Rename a variable so it's not confused with the final variable.
Many users think they want a locals argument for various reasons but they do not
understand that it makes code be treated as a class definition. They do not want
their code treated as a class definition and get surprised. The reason not
to pass locals specifically is that the following code raises a `NameError`:
```py
exec("""
def f():
print("hi")
f()
def g():
f()
g()
""", {}, {})
```
The reason not to leave out globals is as follows:
```py
def t():
exec("""
def f():
print("hi")
f()
def g():
f()
g()
""")
```

Greatly speeds `Differ` when there are many identically scoring pairs, by splitting the recursion near the inputs' midpoints instead of degenerating (as now) into just peeling off the first two lines.

Nobody has been using a Sun machine for a long time. When I saw
this sentence in a lightning talk just now, I thought it was talking
about sending Python code on a spacecraft.
Various test bots (outside the ones GH normally runs) are timing out during test_int after ecd8664 (asymptotically faster str->int). Best guess is that they don't build the C _decimal module. So require that module in the most likely tests to time out then. Flying mostly blind, though!
Asymptotically faster (O(n log n)) str->int for very large strings, leveraging the faster multiplication scheme in the C-coded `_decimal` when available. This is used instead of the current Karatsuba-limited method starting at 2 million digits.
Lots of opportunity remains for fine-tuning. Good targets include changing BYTELIM, and possibly changing the internal output base (from 256 to a higher number of bytes).
Doing this was substantial work, and many of the new lines are actually comments giving correctness proofs. The obvious approaches sticking to integers were too slow to be useful, so this is doing variable-precision decimal floating-point arithmetic. Much faster, but worst-possible rounding errors have to be wholly accounted for, using as little precision as possible.
Special thanks to Serhiy Storchaka for asking many good questions in his code reviews!
