Fetch CONFIG_ARGS from the original source directory, instead of from
the copied source tree. When "make clean" is executed in the copied
source tree, the build directory is cleared and the configure argument
lookup fails. However, the original source directory still contains this
information.
Prevent test_tools from copying 1000M of "source"
It doesn't need a git repo, just the checkout. We skip .git metadata, Doc/build, Doc/venv, and `__pycache__` subdirs, that developers often have in their clients to reduce the size of the source tree copy ten-fold.
This should significantly reduce IO and presumably time on buildbots during this long test.
<stdbool.h> is the standard/modern way to define embedd/extends Python free to define bool, true and false, but there are existing applications that use slightly different redefinitions, which fail if the header is included.
It's OK to use stdbool outside the public headers, though.

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.

# du -s ./python before

This gains 10% or more in startup time for `python -c pass` on UNIX-ish systems.
The Makefile.pre.in generating code builds on Eric's work for bpo-45020, but the .c file generator is new.
Windows version TBD.
Currently custom modules (the array set on PyImport_FrozenModules) replace all the frozen stdlib modules. That can be problematic and is unlikely to be what the user wants. This change treats the custom frozen modules as additions instead. They take precedence over all other frozen modules except for those needed to bootstrap the import system. If the "code" field of an entry in the custom array is NULL then that frozen module is treated as disabled, which allows a custom entry to disable a frozen stdlib module.
This change allows us to get rid of is_essential_frozen_module() and simplifies the logic for which frozen modules should be ignored.

The "freeze" tool has been part of the repo for a long time. However, it hasn't had any tests in the test suite to guard against regressions. We add such a test here. This is especially important as there has been a lot of change recently related to frozen modules, with more to come.
Note that as part of the test we build Python out-of-tree and install it in a temp dir.
