Fix a rare but potential pre-exec child process deadlock in subprocess on POSIX systems when marking file descriptors inheritable on exec in the child process. This bug appears to have been introduced in 3.4 with the inheritable file descriptors support.
This also changes Python/fileutils.c `set_inheritable` to use the "slow" two `fcntl` syscall path instead of the "fast" single `ioctl` syscall path when asked to be async signal safe (by way of being asked not to raise exceptions). `ioctl` is not a POSIX async-signal-safe approved function.

When `__getattr__` is implemented, attribute lookup will always fall back to that,
even if the initial failure comes from `__getattribute__` or a descriptor's `__get__`
method (including property methods).
Modify RE examples in documentation to use raw strings to prevent DeprecationWarning.
Add text to REGEX HOWTO to highlight the deprecation. Approved by Serhiy Storchaka.
Clarify that the level argument is used to determine whether to
perform absolute or relative imports: 0 is absolute, while a positive number
is the number of parent directories to search relative to the current module.
In the tutorial about the Generator expression, there is an example with
a dict comprehension and not with a generator expression, just removed
the code.
The f-string example for using datetime format specifier does not match the given output.
Changed the format from %b to %B so it matches the output of "January".
This issue covers various changes for the macOS installers provided via python.org for 3.7.0.
- Provide a provisional new installer variant for macOS 10.9 and later systems with 64-bit (x86_64) architecture only. Apple has made it known that future versions of macOS will only fully support 64-bit executables and some other third-party software suppliers have chosen 10.9 as their oldest supported system.
- Support **Tcl/Tk 8.6** with the 10.9 installer variant.
- Upgrade **OpenSSL** to 1.1.0g and **SQLite** to 3.22.0.
- The compiler name used for the interpreter build and for modules built with **Distutils / pip** is now _gcc_ rather than _gcc-4.2_. And extension module builds will no longer try to force use of an old SDK if present.
No longer add /Library/Python/3.x/site-packages, the Apple-supplied
system Python site-packages directory, to sys.path for macOS framework
builds in case Apple ships a version of Python 3. A similar change
was made earlier to Python 2.7 where it was found that the coupling
between the system Python and a user-installed framework Python often
caused confusion or pip install failures.
