bpo-37194: Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function (GH-13890)
Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.

It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.

It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.

Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.

bpo-37266: Daemon threads are now denied in subinterpreters (GH-14049)
In a subinterpreter, spawning a daemon thread now raises an
exception. Daemon threads were never supported in subinterpreters.
Previously, the subinterpreter finalization crashed with a Pyton
fatal error if a daemon thread was still running.

* Add _thread._is_main_interpreter()
* threading.Thread.start() now raises RuntimeError if the thread is a
  daemon thread and the method is called from a subinterpreter.
* The _thread module now uses Argument Clinic for the new function.
* Use textwrap.dedent() in test_threading.SubinterpThreadingTests
