* bpo-38234: Py_SetPath() uses the program full path (GH-16357)
Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path
(Py_GetProgramFullPath()), rather than to the program name
(Py_GetProgramName()).
Fix also memory leaks in pathconfig_set_from_config().

* bpo-38234: Add tests for Python init path config (GH-16358)
(cherry picked from commit bb6bf7d342)
* bpo-38234: test_embed: test pyvenv.cfg and pybuilddir.txt (GH-16366)
Add test_init_pybuilddir() and test_init_pyvenv_cfg() to test_embed
to test pyvenv.cfg and pybuilddir.txt configuration files.
Fix sysconfig._generate_posix_vars(): pybuilddir.txt uses UTF-8
encoding, not ASCII.

* bpo-38234: Cleanup getpath.c (GH-16367)
* search_for_prefix() directly calls reduce() if found is greater
than 0.
* Add calculate_pybuilddir() subfunction.
* search_for_prefix(): add path string buffer for readability.
* Fix some error handling code paths: release resources on error.
* calculate_read_pyenv(): rename tmpbuffer to filename.
* test.pythoninfo now also logs windows.dll_path

bpo-38234: On macOS and FreeBSD, the temporary directory can be
symbolic link. For example, /tmp can be a symbolic link to /var/tmp.
Call realpath() to resolve all symbolic links.
(cherry picked from commit 00508a7407)
* bpo-38234: Add test_init_setpath_config() to test_embed (GH-16402)
* Add test_embed.test_init_setpath_config(): test Py_SetPath()
with PyConfig.
* test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() no longer call
Py_SetProgramName(), but use the default program name.
* _PyPathConfig: isolated, site_import and base_executable
fields are now only available on Windows.
* If executable is set explicitly in the configuration, ignore
calculated base_executable: _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() copies
executable to base_executable.
* Complete path config documentation.
(cherry picked from commit 8bf39b606e)
* bpo-38234: Complete init config documentation (GH-16404)
(cherry picked from commit 88feaecd46)
* bpo-38234: Fix test_embed.test_init_setpath_config() on FreeBSD (GH-16406)
Explicitly preinitializes with a Python preconfiguration to avoid
Py_SetPath() implicit preinitialization with a compat
preconfiguration.
Fix also test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() on macOS:
use self.test_exe as the executable (and base_executable), rather
than shutil.which('python3').
(cherry picked from commit 49d99f01e6)
* bpo-38234: Py_Initialize() sets global path configuration (GH-16421)
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() now writes PyConfig path configuration to
the global path configuration (_Py_path_config).
* Add test_embed.test_get_pathconfig().
* Fix typo in _PyWideStringList_Join().

bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.

Rename the config directory (LIBPL) from config-$(LDVERSION) to
config-$(LDVERSION)-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET).
Install the platform specifc _sysconfigdata module into the platform
directory and rename it to include the ABIFLAGS.
tailoring for universal builds by factoring out common OS X-specific
customizations from sysconfig, distutils.sysconfig, distutils.util,
and distutils.unixccompiler into a new module _osx_support that can
eventually also be used by packaging.
In particular, fix extension module build failures when trying to use
32-bit-only installer Pythons on systems with Xcode 4 (currently
OS X 10.8, 10.7, and optionally 10.6).
* Backport 3.3.0 fixes to 3.2 branch (for release in 3.2.4)
* Since Xcode 4 removes ppc support, extension module builds now
check for ppc compiler support and by default remove ppc and
ppc64 archs when they are not available.
* Extension module builds now revert to using system installed
headers and libs (/usr and /System/Library) if the SDK used
to build the interpreter is not installed or has moved.
* Try to avoid building extension modules with deprecated
and problematic Apple llvm-gcc compiler. If original compiler
is not available, use clang instead by default.
We need a discussion to define what should be customized how; this new
config file is premature. It was added to serve the needs of the
resources system in install_data / packaging.database, so it can be
removed alongside packaging for 3.3.
