- Issue #15965: Explicitly cast AT_FDCWD as (int). Required on Solaris 10
(which defines AT_FDCWD as 0xffd19553), harmless on other platforms.

- Issue #15447: Use subprocess.DEVNULL in webbrowser, instead of opening
os.devnull explicitly and leaving it open.
- Issue #15509: webbrowser.UnixBrowser no longer passes empty arguments to
Popen when %action substitutions produce empty strings.
- Issues #12776, #11839: call argparse type function (specified by add_argument)
only once. Before, the type function was called twice in the case where the
default was specified and the argument was given as well. This was especially
problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would always be opened,
even if a file argument was specified on the command line.
- Issue #15906: Fix a regression in argparse caused by the preceding change,
when action='append', type='str' and default=[].
