Py_EndInterpreter() now explicitly untracks all objects currently
tracked by the GC. Previously, if an object was used later by another
interpreter, calling PyObject_GC_UnTrack() on the object crashed if
the previous or the next object of the PyGC_Head structure became a
dangling pointer.
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.

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.
The idea is to ensure that module `xml.parsers.expat.errors`
contains all known error codes and messages,
even when CPython is compiled or run with an outdated version of libexpat.

* 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
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...).

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.

This simplifies new_threadstate(). We also rename _PyThreadState_Init() to _PyThreadState_SetCurrent() to reflect what it actually does.

This parallels _PyRuntimeState.interpreters. Doing this helps make it more clear what part of PyInterpreterState relates to its threads.

* Check NS API return values for NULL to prevent segfault in
``_bootstrap_python``.
* Set modPathInitialized to 1 so the ``decode_to_dict`` path is used.
