Optimize bytes.__mod__(args) for integere formats: %d (%i, %u), %o, %x and %X.
_PyBytesWriter is now used to format directly the integer into the writer
buffer, instead of using a temporary bytes object.
Formatting is between 30% and 50% faster on a microbenchmark.
Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like
object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used.
This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error
messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the
buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required. (The
glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer
protocol in the docs.)
Reduce the base by the modulus when the base is larger than
the modulus. This can unboundedly speed the "startup costs"
of doing modular exponentiation, particularly in cases where
the base is much larger than the modulus. Original patch
by Armin Rigo, inspired by https://github.com/pyca/ed25519.
Merged from 3.3.

- replace 'long int' / 'long' by 'int'
- fix capitalization of "Python" in PyLong_AsUnsignedLong
- "is too large" -> "too large", for consistency with other messages.
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
* Add also min_char attribute to _PyUnicodeWriter structure (currently unused)
* _PyUnicodeWriter_Init() has no more argument (except the writer itself):
min_length and overallocate must be set explicitly
* In error handlers, only enable overallocation if the replacement string
is longer than 1 character
* CJK decoders don't use overallocation anymore
* Set min_length, instead of preallocating memory using
_PyUnicodeWriter_Prepare(), in many decoders
* _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeInternal() checks for integer overflow

This commit rewrites the docstring for int() to incorporate the documentation
changes made in issue #16036. It also switches the docstrings for int(),
str(), range(), and slice() to use multi-line signatures.
* Formatting string, int, float and complex use the _PyUnicodeWriter API. It
avoids a temporary buffer in most cases.
* Add _PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr() to restore the PyAccu optimization: just
keep a reference to the string if the output is only composed of one string
* Disable overallocation when formatting the last argument of str%args and
str.format(args)
* Overallocation allocates at least 100 characters: add min_length attribute
to the _PyUnicodeWriter structure
* Add new private functions: _PyUnicode_FastCopyCharacters(),
_PyUnicode_FastFill() and _PyUnicode_FromASCII()
The speed up is around 20% in average.
PyLong_AsDouble() and PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong() now raise TypeError (rather
than SystemError) when passed a non-integer argument, matching the behavior of
all the other PyLong_As*() functions.
types. Added a new API function, PyUnicode_TransformDecimalToASCII(),
which transforms non-ASCII decimal digits in a Unicode string to their
ASCII equivalents.

fractions.Fraction) that makes it easy to maintain the invariant that
hash(x) == hash(y) whenever x and y have equal value.

Refactor some longobject internals: PyLong_AsDouble and _PyLong_AsScaledDouble
(the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code. The
exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT. This
frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
implementation. This closes issue #5576.

Style/consistency/nano-optimization nit: replace occurrences of
(high_bits << PyLong_SHIFT) + low_bits with
(high_bits << PyLong_SHIFT) | low_bits
in Objects/longobject.c. Motivation:
- shouldn't unnecessarily mix bit ops with arithmetic ops (style)
- this pattern should be spelt the same way thoughout (consistency)
- it's very very very slightly faster: no need to worry about
carries to the high digit (nano-optimization).

Issue #5512: speed up the long division algorithm for Python longs.
The basic algorithm remains the same; the most significant speedups
come from the following three changes:
(1) normalize by shifting instead of multiplying and dividing
(2) the old algorithm usually did an unnecessary extra iteration of
the outer loop; remove this. As a special case, this means that
long divisions with a single-digit result run twice as fast as
before.
(3) make inner loop much tighter.
Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long
integer divisions and modulo operations.
........
- new configure option --enable-big-digits
- new structseq sys.int_info giving information about the internal format
By default, 30-bit digits are enabled on 64-bit machines but
disabled on 32-bit machines.

Issue #5260: Various portability and standards compliance fixes, optimizations
and cleanups in Objects/longobject.c. The most significant change is that
longs now use less memory: average savings are 2 bytes per long on 32-bit
systems and 6 bytes per long on 64-bit systems. (This memory saving already
exists in py3k.)
