Use crypt_r() when available instead of crypt() in the crypt module.

The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false

annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).

have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
