A new `compute_powers()` function computes all and only the powers of the base the various base-conversion functions need, as efficiently as reasonably possible (turns out that invoking `**`is needed at most once). This typically gives a few % speedup, but the primary point is to simplify the base-conversion functions, which no longer need their own, ad hoc, and less efficient power-caching schemes.

Make a rough editorial pass over Python 3.13's What's New document. Add the
release highlights, remove or merge some duplicated entries, and reorder
some of the sections (removals should really go before future deprecations).
The `pool_in_threads.py` test file may crash in free-threaded builds,
which can lead to the Tsan test hanging. Skip it for now until we fix
the underlying issue.
Callbacks registered in the tkinter module now take arguments as
various Python objects (int, float, bytes, tuple), not just str.
To restore the previous behavior set tkinter module global wantobject to 1
before creating the Tk object or call the wantobject() method of the Tk object
with argument 1.
Calling it with argument 2 restores the current default behavior.
The provided example was incorrect:
- The example enum was missing the `int` mixin as implied by the context
- The value of `int('1a', 16)` was incorrectly given as 17
(should be 26)
Fix an edge case in `binascii.a2b_base64` strict mode, where
excessive padding was not detected when no padding is necessary.

Rationale
=========
argparse performs a complex formatting of the usage for argument grouping
and for line wrapping to fit the terminal width. This formatting has been
a constant source of bugs for at least 10 years (see linked issues below)
where defensive assertion errors are triggered or brackets and paranthesis
are not properly handeled.
Problem
=======
The current implementation of argparse usage formatting relies on regular
expressions to group arguments usage only to separate them again later
with another set of regular expressions. This is a complex and error prone
approach that caused all the issues linked below. Special casing certain
argument formats has not solved the problem. The following are some of
the most common issues:
- empty `metavar`
- mutually exclusive groups with `SUPPRESS`ed arguments
- metavars with whitespace
- metavars with brackets or paranthesis
Solution
========
The following two comments summarize the solution:
- https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82091#issuecomment-1093832187
- https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/77048#issuecomment-1093776995
Mainly, the solution is to rewrite the usage formatting to avoid the
group-then-separate approach. Instead, the usage parts are kept separate
and only joined together at the end. This allows for a much simpler
implementation that is easier to understand and maintain. It avoids the
regular expressions approach and fixes the corresponding issues.
This closes the following GitHub issues:
- #62090
- #62549
- #77048
- #82091
- #89743
- #96310

These PRs become obsolete:

Add missing import to code that handles too large files and offsets.
Use list, not tuple, for a mutable sequence.
Add tests to prevent similar mistakes.

This change makes sure all extension/builtin modules have their init function run first by the main interpreter before proceeding with import in the original interpreter (main or otherwise). This means when the import of a single-phase init module fails in an isolated subinterpreter, it won't tie any global state/callbacks to the subinterpreter.
Add the ability to enable/disable the GIL at runtime, and use that in
the C module loading code.
We can't know before running a module init function if it supports
free-threading, so the GIL is temporarily enabled before doing so. If
the module declares support for running without the GIL, the GIL is
later disabled. Otherwise, the GIL is permanently enabled, and will
never be disabled again for the life of the current interpreter.
We already intern and immortalize most string constants. In the
free-threaded build, other constants can be a source of reference count
contention because they are shared by all threads running the same code
objects.
