* gh-105912: document gotcha with using os.fork on macOS
Using ``fork(2)`` on macOS when also using higher-level
system APIs in the parent proces can crash on macOS because
those system APIs are not written to handle this usage
pattern.
There's nothing we can do about this other than documenting
the problem.

Add :noindex: to duplicated documentation to fix "duplicate object
description" errors.
For example, fix this Sphinx 3 issue:
Doc/library/configparser.rst:1146: WARNING: duplicate object
description of configparser.ConfigParser.optionxform, other instance
in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them

Clarify that the naming of protocol handler methods shouldn't be literally called "protocol" but should be named after the actual protocol.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35155
The deprecation include manual creation of SSLSocket and certfile/keyfile
(or similar) in ftplib, httplib, imaplib, smtplib, poplib and urllib.
ssl.wrap_socket() is not marked as deprecated yet.
The previous attempt to determine the file’s Content-Length gave a false
positive for pipes on Windows.
Also, drop the special case for sending zero-length iterable bodies.
When the body object is a file, its size is no longer determined with
fstat(), since that can report the wrong result (e.g. reading from a pipe).
Instead, determine the size using seek(), or fall back to chunked encoding
for unseekable files.
Also, change the logic for detecting text files to check for TextIOBase
inheritance, rather than inspecting the “mode” attribute, which may not
exist (e.g. BytesIO and StringIO). The Content-Length for text files is no
longer determined ahead of time, because the original logic could have been
wrong depending on the codec and newline translation settings.
