For threads, and for multiprocessing, it's always been the case that ``args=list`` works fine when passed to ``Process()`` or ``Thread()``, and such code is common in the wild. But, according to the docs, only a tuple can be used. This brings the docs into synch with reality.

Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
Rename private functions (no exported), add an underscore prefix:
* PyLineTable_InitAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_InitAddressRange()
* PyLineTable_NextAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_NextAddressRange()
* PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange()
Move private functions to the internal C API:
* _PyCode_Addr2EndLine()
* _PyCode_Addr2EndOffset()
* _PyCode_Addr2Offset()
* _PyCode_InitAddressRange()
* _PyCode_InitEndAddressRange(
* _PyLineTable_InitAddressRange()
* _PyLineTable_NextAddressRange()
* _PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange()
No longer export the following internal functions:
* _PyCode_GetVarnames()
* _PyCode_GetCellvars()
* _PyCode_GetFreevars()
* _Py_GetSpecializationStats()
Add "extern" to pycore_code.h functions to identify them more easiliy
(they are still not exported).
Fix a bug in urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and
urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which
allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI "example.org/foobar"
was allowed if the user was authorized for URI "example.org/foo".
<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.

Rename the private undocumented float.__set_format__() method to
float.__setformat__() to fix a typo introduced in Python 3.7. The
method is only used by test_float.
The change enables again test_float tests on the float format which
were previously skipped because of the typo.
The typo was introduced in Python 3.7 by bpo-20185
in commit b5c51d3dd9.
Move forward declarations of Python C API types to a new pytypedefs.h
header file to solve interdependency issues between header files.
pytypedefs.h contains forward declarations of the following types:
* PyCodeObject
* PyFrameObject
* PyGetSetDef
* PyInterpreterState
* PyLongObject
* PyMemberDef
* PyMethodDef
* PyModuleDef
* PyObject
* PyThreadState
* PyTypeObject
This changes cancelling() and uncancel() to return the count of pending cancellations.
This can be used to avoid bugs in certain edge cases (e.g. two timeouts going off at the same time).
