bpo-43284: Update platform.win32_ver to use _syscmd_ver instead of sys.getwindowsversion() (GH-25500)
The sys module uses the kernel32.dll version number, which can vary from the "actual" Windows version.
Since the best option for getting the version is WMI (which is expensive), we switch back to launching cmd.exe (which is also expensive, but a lot less code on our part).
sys.getwindowsversion() is not updated to avoid launching executables from that module.

bpo-42236: Enhance init and encoding documentation (GH-23109)
Enhance the documentation of the Python startup, filesystem encoding
and error handling, locale encoding. Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode"
section.

* Add "locale encoding" and "filesystem encoding and error handler"
  to the glossary
* Remove documentation from Include/cpython/initconfig.h: move it to
  Doc/c-api/init_config.rst.
* Doc/c-api/init_config.rst:

  * Document command line options and environment variables
  * Document default values.

* Add a new "Python UTF-8 Mode" section in Doc/library/os.rst.
* Add warnings to Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() docs.
* Document how Python selects the filesystem encoding and error
  handler at a single place: PyConfig.filesystem_encoding and
  PyConfig.filesystem_errors.
* PyConfig: move orig_argv member at the right place.

bpo-41435: Add sys._current_exceptions() function (GH-21689)
This adds a new function named sys._current_exceptions() which is equivalent ot
sys._current_frames() except that it returns the exceptions currently handled
by other threads. It is equivalent to calling sys.exc_info() for each running
thread.

bpo-42236: Use UTF-8 encoding if nl_langinfo(CODESET) fails (GH-23086)
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.

In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.

In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.

In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.

Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.

While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)

Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.

bpo-1294959: Try to clarify the meaning of platlibdir (GH-20332)
Try to make the meaning of platlibdir clear.  The previous wording could
be misinterpreted to suggest that it will be used to find all shared
libraries on the system, and not just Python extensions.  Furthermore,
it was unclear whether it affects third-party (site-packages) extensions
or not.  The new wording tries to make its dual purpose clear,
and provide the additional example of extensions in site-packages.

bpo-1294959: Add sys.platlibdir attribute (GH-18381)
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.

It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught
Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught

threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not
be used directly.

* threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs.
* Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a
  'file' parameter.
* Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook
  calling _PyErr_Display().
* Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type.
* Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory
  details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python
  shutdown.
* Add unit tests.

bpo-36829: Add sys.unraisablehook() (GH-13187)
Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to
control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an
exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it.
For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage
collection (gc.collect()).

Changes:

* Add an internal UnraisableHookArgs type used to pass arguments to
  sys.unraisablehook.
* Add _PyErr_WriteUnraisableDefaultHook().
* The default hook now ignores exception on writing the traceback.
* test_sys now uses unittest.main() to automatically discover tests:
  remove test_main().
* Add _PyErr_Init().
* Fix PyErr_WriteUnraisable(): hold a strong reference to sys.stderr
