This adds a new function named _PyErr_GetExcInfo() that is a variation of the
original PyErr_GetExcInfo() taking a PyThreadState as its first argument.
That function allows to retrieve the exceptions information of any Python
thread -- not only the current one.
Copying property objects results in a TypeError. Steps to reproduce:
```
>>> import copy
>>> obj = property()
>>> copy.copy(obj)
````
This affects both shallow and deep copying.
My idea for a fix is to add property objects to the list of "atomic" objects in the copy module.
These already include types like functions and type objects.
I also added property objects to the unit tests test_copy_atomic and test_deepcopy_atomic. This is my first PR, and it's highly likely I've made some mistake, so please be kind :)

nntplib.NNTP and nntplib.NNTP_SSL now raise a ValueError
if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to
prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket.
poplib.POP3 and poplib.POP3_SSL now raise a ValueError
if the given timeout for their constructor is zero to
prevent the creation of a non-blocking socket.
The fix changes copy_location() to require an extra node from which to extract the end location, and fixing all 5 call sites.

imaplib.IMAP4 and imaplib.IMAP4_SSL now have an
optional *timeout* parameter for their constructors.
Also, the imaplib.IMAP4.open() method now has an optional *timeout* parameter
with this change. The overridden methods of imaplib.IMAP4_SSL and
imaplib.IMAP4_stream were applied to this change.
When producing the bytecode of exception handlers with name binding (like `except Exception as e`) we need to produce a try-finally block to make sure that the name is deleted after the handler is executed to prevent cycles in the stack frame objects. The bytecode associated with this try-finally block does not have source lines associated and it was causing problems when the tracing functionality was running over it.
This uses the heuristic of assuming a named tuple is a subclass of
tuple with a _fields attribute. This change means that contents of
a named tuple wouldn't be converted - if a user wants to have
ConvertingTuple functionality from a namedtuple, they will have to
implement it themselves.
The importlib.metadata documentation uses hardcoded links to internal
pages. This results in minor rendering issues. This change replaces
the hardcoded links with suitable Sphinx roles.

Small typo/formatting corrections.
`whethen` -> `whether`
`exaustion' -> `exhaustion`
Assorted appending periods `.` and slight reformattings to place `Path contributed by` on the same line as description, matching the majority of document.
NB Some of these might need to be backported, as I saw the first error in the [changelog for 3.8.1](https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3-8-1)
When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but
the `author_email` field was missing, erroneously a warning message was
displayed that the `author_email` field is required.
The specs do not require the `author_email`field:
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author
The same is valid for `maintainer` and `maintainer_email`.
The warning message has been adjusted.
