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.
Currently we freeze several modules into the runtime. For each of these modules it is essential to bootstrapping the runtime that they be frozen. Any other stdlib module that we later freeze into the runtime is not essential. We can just as well import from the .py file. This PR lets users explicitly choose which should be used, with the new "-X frozen_modules=[on|off]" CLI flag. The default is "off" for now.

See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().
The following functions now return NULL if called before
Py_Initialize():
* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()
These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.
The path configuration is now computed in the "main" initialization.
The core initialization no longer computes it.
* Add _PyConfig_Read() function to read the configuration without
computing the path configuration.
* pyinit_core() no longer computes the path configuration: it is now
computed by init_interp_main().
* The path configuration output members of PyConfig are now optional:
* executable
* base_executable
* prefix
* base_prefix
* exec_prefix
* base_exec_prefix
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now skips NULL strings in PyConfig.
* _testembed: Rename test_set_config() to test_init_set_config() for
consistency with other tests.
* Inline _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig(): replace it with
_PyConfig_Copy().
* Add _PyErr_SetFromPyStatus()
* Add _PyInterpreterState_GetConfigCopy()
* Add a new _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig() function.
* Add an unit which gets, modifies, and sets the config.
Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
The DLL path is not computed from any user configuration and cannot
be configured by PyConfig. Instead, add a new _Py_dll_path global variable.
Remove _PyConfig_SetPathConfig(): replaced with _PyPathConfig_Init().
Py_Initialize() now longer sets the "global path configuration",
but only initialize _Py_dll_path.
