Add documentation to help diagnose CDLL dependent DLL loading errors
on windows for OSError with message:
"[WinError 126] The specified module could not be found"
This error is otherwise difficult to diagnose.
@ericsnowcurrently This PR will change the following:
In the library documentation importlib.rst:
- `module.__package__` can be `module.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.parent` can be `spec.__name__` for packages;
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespaces packages.
In the language documentation import.rst:
- `spec.loader` is not `None` for namespace packages.

This is a trivial fix to [bpo-39416](), which didn't come up until it was already committed
```
Change "Numeric" to "numeric".
I believe this is trivial enough to not need an issue or a NEWS entry, although
I'm unclear on what branches the original pull request received backports.

[bpo-39416](): Document string representations of the Numeric classes
This is a change to the specification of the Python language.
The idea here is to put sane minimal limits on the Python language's default
representations of its Numeric classes. That way "Marty's Robotic Massage Parlor
and Python Interpreter" implementation of Python won't do anything too
crazy.
Some discussion in the email thread:
Subject: Documenting Python's float.__str__()

* Add _newline_ parameter to `pathlib.Path.write_text()`
* Update documentation of `pathlib.Path.write_text()`
* Add test case for `pathlib.Path.write_text()` calls with _newline_ parameter passed

Clarify in the subprocess documentation how searching for the executable to run works, noting that ``sys.executable`` is the recommended way to find the current interpreter.
* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module
* Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class
This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes.
On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing.
When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are
very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical
Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better.
For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to
be able to set the pipe size.
The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in
conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior.
This PR replaces #1977. The reason for the replacement is two-fold.
The fix itself is different is that if the CTE header doesn't exist in the original message, it is inserted. This is important because the new CTE could be quoted-printable whereas the original is implicit 8bit.
Also the tests are different. The test_nonascii_as_string_without_cte test in #1977 doesn't actually test the issue in that it passes without the fix. The test_nonascii_as_string_without_content_type_and_cte test is improved here, and even though it doesn't fail without the fix, it is included for completeness.

It was moved out of the limited API in 7d95e40721.
This change re-enables it from 3.10, to avoid generating invalid extension modules for earlier versions.
