bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.
Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.

sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable
On Windows, os.dup() no longer creates an inheritable fd when handling a
character file.

Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[].
This causes time.tzname to be an empty string.
I have reported the bug to the UCRT team and will follow up, but it will take some time get a fix into production.
In the meantime one possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7

While Windows exposes the system processor queue length, the raw value
used for load calculations on Unix systems, it does not provide an API
to access the averaged value. Hence to calculate the load we must track
and average it ourselves. We can't use multiprocessing or a thread to
read it in the background while the tests run since using those would
conflict with test_multiprocessing and test_xxsubprocess.
Thus, we use Window's asynchronous IO API to run the tracker in the
background with it sampling at the correct rate. When we wish to access
the load we check to see if there's new data on the stream, if there is,
we update our load values.
Add a function to collect certificates from several certificate stores into one certificate collection store that is then enumerated. This ensures we load as many certificates as we can access.
This change adds the necessary items to the build projects to avoid erroring out right at the start. It does not add _support_ for targeting Windows on ARM32, but is a necessary prerequisite for adding it.
Unicode version of Windows APIs are used in places, but not for GetVersionEx in Python/sysmodule.c
The wcstok_s is called on Windows in Modules/main.c and PC/launcher.c, but not in Python/pathconfig.c
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
* Disable x87 control word for non-x86 targets
On msvc, x87 control word is only available on x86 target. Need to disable it for other targets to prevent compiling problems.
* Include immintrin.h on x86 and x64 only
Immintrin.h is only available on x86 and x64. Need to disable it for other targets to prevent compiling problems.
