Also from the _asyncio C accelerator module,
and adjust one test that the change caused to fail.

(Basically, @asvetlov proposed to return False from cancel()
when there is already a pending cancellation, and I went along,
even though it wasn't necessary for the task group implementation,
and @agronholm has come up with a counterexample that fails
because of this change. So now I'm changing it back to the old
semantics (but still bumping the counter) until we can have a
proper discussion about this.)
<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 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).
Remove the HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro (moved to the internal
C API).
* Move HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro to pycore_pymath.h.
* Replace PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR macro with _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR
macro which is always defined. gcc -Wundef emits a warning when
using _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR but the macro is not defined, if
pycore_pymath.h include was forgotten.
The libexpat 2.4.1 upgrade from introduced the following new exported symbols:
* `testingAccountingGetCountBytesDirect`
* `testingAccountingGetCountBytesIndirect`
* `unsignedCharToPrintable`
* `XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionActivationThreshold`
* `XML_SetBillionLaughsAttackProtectionMaximumAmplification`
We need to adjust [Modules/expat/pyexpatns.h](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/expat/pyexpatns.h)
(The newer libexpat upgrade has no new symbols).

asyncio/taskgroups.py is an adaptation of taskgroup.py from EdgeDb, with the following key changes:
- Allow creating new tasks as long as the last task hasn't finished
- Raise [Base]ExceptionGroup (directly) rather than TaskGroupError deriving from MultiError
- Instead of monkey-patching the parent task's cancel() method,
add a new public API to Task
The Task class has a new internal flag, `_cancel_requested`, which is set when `.cancel()` is called successfully. The `.cancelling()` method returns the value of this flag. Further `.cancel()` calls while this flag is set return False. To reset this flag, call `.uncancel()`.
Thus, a Task that catches and ignores `CancelledError` should call `.uncancel()` if it wants to be cancellable again; until it does so, it is deemed to be busy with uninterruptible cleanup.
This new Task API helps solve the problem where TaskGroup needs to distinguish between whether the parent task being cancelled "from the outside" vs. "from inside".

We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
