gh-100428: Make int documentation more accurate (#100436)
- Remove first link to lexical definition of integer literal, since it
  doesn't apply (differs in handling of leading zeros, base needs to be
  explicitly specified, unicode digits are allowed)
- Better describe handling of leading zeros, unicode digits, underscores
- Base 0 does not work exactly as like a code literal, since it allows
  Unicode digits. Link code literal to lexical definition of integer
  literal.

gh-100546: Remove incorrect positional-only marker from eval (#100547)
All the arguments are positional-only.

The current status after #99476 seems to be to not use positional-only
markers in documentation, hence I've simply removed it.

gh-100428: Make float documentation more accurate (#100437)
Previously, the grammar did not accept `float("10")`.
Also implement mdickinson's suggestion of removing the indirection.

gh-95778: CVE-2020-10735: Prevent DoS by very large int() (#96499)
Integer to and from text conversions via CPython's bignum `int` type is not safe against denial of service attacks due to malicious input. Very large input strings with hundred thousands of digits can consume several CPU seconds.

This PR comes fresh from a pile of work done in our private PSRT security response team repo.

I wrote up [a one pager for the release managers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KjuF_aXlzPUxTK4BMgezGJ2Pn7uevfX7g0_mvgHlL7Y/edit#). Much of that text wound up in the Issue. Backports PRs already exist. See the issue for links.

gh-92203: Add closure support to exec(). (#92204)
Add a closure keyword-only parameter to exec(). It can only be specified when exec-ing a code object that uses free variables. When specified, it must be a tuple, with exactly the number of cell variables referenced by the code object. closure has a default value of None, and it must be None if the code object doesn't refer to any free variables.
