Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.
This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.
This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.
Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

#6844: do not emit DeprecationWarnings on access if Exception.message has been set by the user.
This works by always setting it in __dict__, except when it's implicitly set in __init__.

issue 6275
Add an "exc_value" attribute to the _AssertRaisesContext context manager in the unittest package. This allows further tests on the exception that was raised after the context manager exits.

Style/consistency/nano-optimization nit: replace occurrences of
(high_bits << PyLong_SHIFT) + low_bits with
(high_bits << PyLong_SHIFT) | low_bits
in Objects/longobject.c. Motivation:
- shouldn't unnecessarily mix bit ops with arithmetic ops (style)
- this pattern should be spelt the same way thoughout (consistency)
- it's very very very slightly faster: no need to worry about
carries to the high digit (nano-optimization).

The debug memory api now keeps track of which external API (PyMem_* or PyObject_*) was used to allocate each block and treats any API violation as an error. Added separate _PyMem_DebugMalloc functions for the Py_Mem API instead of having it use the _PyObject_DebugMalloc functions.
