Importlib's documentation said that importlib.abc.PyLoader inherited from
importlib.abc.ResourceLoader, when in fact it did not. Fixed the ABC to inherit

This does in introduce an backwards-incompatiblity as the code in PyLoader
already required the single method ResourceLoader defined as an abstract

#6323: pdb doesn't deal well with SyntaxErrors.
It seems necessary to keep two layers of 'exec' (one in Bdb.run, one in Pdb._runscript);
this allows the tracing function to be active when the inner 'exec' runs
and tries to compile the real code.
This partially revert r58127, the net effet of the two changes is to replace
"exec('%s')" with "exec(%r)".

Fix issue 2245. aifc now skips any chunk type it doesn't actually
process instead of throwing errors for anything not in an explicit
skip list. This is per this spec: http://www.cnpbagwell.com/aiff-c.txt.
Spec reference and test sound file provided by Santiago Peresón, fix
based on patch by Hiroaki Kawai.

Issue #3166: Make long -> float (and int -> float) conversions
correctly rounded, using round-half-to-even. This ensures that the
value of float(n) doesn't depend on whether we're using 15-bit digits
or 30-bit digits for Python longs.
