Reflecting changes to the code, removed weakref.ReferenceError from weakref.rst and exceptions.rst.
Issue submitter provided evidence that the `weakref.ReferenceError` alias for `ReferenceError` was removed from the code in 2007. Working with @gvanrossum at PyCascades CPython sprint we looked at the code and confirmed that `weakref.ReferenceError` was no longer in `weakref.py`.
Based on that analysis I removed references `weakref.ReferenceError` from the two documents where it was still being referenced: `weakref.rst` and `exceptions.rst`.

From the source for `PyUnicode_Decode`, the implementation is:
```
if (encoding == NULL) {
return PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful(s, size, errors, NULL);
}
```
which is pretty clearly not defaulting to ASCII.

I assume this needs neither a news entry nor bpo link.
* Update mmap readline method documentation
Update mmap `readline` method description. The fact that the `readline` method does update the file position should not be ignored since this might give the impression for the programmer that it doesn't update it.

While `unittest.mock.patch` is a great thing, it is not straightforward.
If it were straightforward there wouldn't be such a huge amount of
documentation for it, and frankly, when myself and others who I've
read about often struggle to figure out what on earth `patch()` wants,
coming to the docs to read that it's straightforward is not helpful.
Minor fix in documentation:
- `sys.__unraisablehook__` is new in version 3.8
- Optional `sep` and `bytes_per_sep` parameters for `bytearray.hex` is also supported in Python 3.8 (just like `bytes.hex`)
Fix regression in fractions.Fraction if the numerator and/or the
denominator is an int subclass. The math.gcd() function is now
used to normalize the numerator and denominator. math.gcd() always
return a int type. Previously, the GCD type depended on numerator
and denominator.
Move listobject.h code surrounded by "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API"
to a new Include/cpython/listobject.h header file.
Add cpython/ header files to Makefile.pre.in and pythoncore project
of PCbuild.
Add _PyList_CAST() macro.
Some numerator types used (specifically NumPy) decides to not
return a Python boolean for the "a != b" operation. Using the equivalent
call to bool() guarantees a bool return also for such types.
* Add backcompat defines and move non-limited API declaration to cpython/
This partially reverts commit 2ff58a24e8
which added PyObject_CallNoArgs to the 3.9+ stable ABI. This should not
be done; there are enough other call APIs in the stable ABI to choose from.
* Adjust documentation
Mark all newly public functions as added in 3.9.
Add a note about the 3.8 provisional names.
Add notes on public API.
* Put PyObject_CallNoArgs back in the limited API
* Rename PyObject_FastCallDict to PyObject_VectorcallDict
Add a fast-path for UTF-8 encoding in PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault()
and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize().
Add _PyUnicode_FiniEncodings() helper function for _PyUnicode_Fini().
